FL 18-A
Note the old dog in the photo. His name was
Wally, and he "owned" the Island. He was the Coast
Guard mascot, brought to Loggerhead as a pup. The Coasties
came and went, but Wally stayed and took care of the
lighthouse. I noticed rat traps in the trees and asked our
Coastie guide why they didn't get a cat. He looked very
shocked and said "OH NO! Wally doesn't like cats".
I have found out that Wally is buried on Loggerhead Key where he
lived his life
and I am told there is a little plaque on the dock where he
greeted all his guests.

This was taken when we went out there in a seaplane, while the Coast
Guard still was stationed on the Island.

This was taken in 2003, after the National Park Service removed the
non-native trees. This photo could not be enlarged to larger than a
5x7. |
