Mary Ellen Claggett

Sharing sad news, our dear friend Mary Ellen Claggett, who was a member of our turtle patrol for many years, has passed. She was a wonderful mentor and role model for many HBTP members for many years. She and her husband Ken (also a long-time turtle patrol member) moved to the west coast two years ago.

Mary Ellen was known for staying late nights at turtle nests waiting for them to hatch. She didn't want to miss a moment. Her smile and laugh endeared her to many vacationers. She leaves a wonderful legacy. We do miss her.
