Pamela Bechtler DelDuco’s third attempt to visit the Bechtler House since July 2022. And in January 2023 John and Pam Bechtler DelDuco arrived from Maryland. Deborah Millikan Scott gave them the grand tour of the house they couldn’t wait to see. Pam is a Christopher Bechtler descendant and grew up hearing names like Christopher Bechtler and Augustus. After all these are the names of her brother and grandson. They took pictures to share with their family regarding the Bechtler Legacy and are on a quest to learn more about the history of Bechtler.
