Kudos to Pam Spencer for bringing to light the miracle of the Monarch butterfly and sharing its fascinating story at schools, parks and other venues ("Lifting the fading monarch," Sept. 27).
Amid all the reports of gang arrests and educational woes on the front page, hers was a story of how one person can make a beautiful difference in our sad world.
Inspired by her project, two years ago I planted a large patch of milkweed and this year successfully sent 22 Monarchs on their way.
