Personal Notes

Cory enjoys fishing and crabbing in Love Creek, and visiting Cape Henlopen State Park for beach time. He and his husband grow their own milkweed and are passionate about protecting pollinating insects – especially Monarch butterflies. They can often be found out and about, finding wild eggs and caterpillars, which they work to keep safe through the larva and pupa stages so they can eventually be released as adult butterflies.
