Ornamental horticulture students at Delaware Valley College — Andrew Belding, Lee Pouliot, Stephen Orzechowski, Michael Hirst, Travis Krall, Laura Galley, Rachel Neuhauser and Greta Heagy — are forming a butterfly and flower garden in memory of Katelyn Joy Derstine, who was killed in June in a car accident. The garden was installed at the Robert Clemens Bucher Park on May 12, 2007. The park is named after her great-grandfather.
