Ila Fox Loetcher aka "The Turtle Lady" 10/30/04 - 1/4/00 |
Left: The whole Island mourns the passing of The Turtle lady on Jan. 4, 2000 - yet celebreates a life that made a tremendous impact on efforts to save the dwindling sea turtle population. To get some idea of the legacy she leaves behind, take a look a seaturtleinc.com.
