King and Queen of the Local ‘Monarchy’ Husband-and-Wife Team Work to Preserve Butterfly Population

By Lori Van Ingen “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” – Julia Child East Lampeter Township seniors Philip and Lindy Malin have done exactly that. When they were married 33 years ago, the Malins knew they were exact opposites and had nothing in common. At that time, Philip was a proofreader for scientific publications and Lindy was director of therapies in a nursing home. If they asked each other how their day was, they knew neither would understand what the other was saying. So they decided to find something they could do together each year of their marriage. They would go to the library and find books about a particular subject, learn about it, and try it out. They called it their “Anniversary Project.” “It’s a good way for couples to stay together,” Lindy, 60, said. please see MONARCHY page 26

Together, Philip and Lindy Malin founded Malins Monarchy, where they raise and release up to 2,000 monarch butterflies each year.
