She was passionate in preserving our envi ronment. Among her board commitments were an early member of Lake Forest Open Lands, where she later served as its president, the Illinois and Wyoming Nature Conservancy Boards, the National Parks and Conservation Board and Lake Forest Garden Club. MacKenzie also was active in her church, the First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest, was a trustee of the Ethel Walker School, located in Simsbury, Connecticut, and was an avid golfer. Debby MacKenzie “Her contributions to the Captiva Island Historical Society were enormous,” said Jim Pigott, president of CIHS. “Debby and her husband, David, were in our first oral history film, and she provided insights and support at our board meeting just weeks before she died.” Debby MacKenzie died on May 11. She is survived by her husband, David, four children and 12 grandchildren. The CIHS is a 501(3)c organization.

Now, our challenge is to make next things: bioluminescence. That celebration mandated that we spend a lot of week - Calusa Week - even better than that. time in the dark. To cast a veil of darkness, we blocked out the windows of the Sanibel Sea School is a non-profit organization looking to create a world where school and every morning we had our daily “circle time’’ in pitch-black dark.

And, as it turns out, a lot of the ocean is permanently dark. The average depth of the ocean on our planet is 5,000 feet. The portion of the ocean that sunlight pen etrates is known as the photic zone. In the open ocean, the photic zone is typically limited to the upper 600 feet. That leaves the remaining 4,400 feet of the ocean in utter, permanent darkness. That’s a lot of opportunity for living things to utilize the light from biochemical reactions for communication, camouflage and prey location. We didn’t get to visit this deep, dark zone of the ocean, but we did go for a night U/. snorkel in the Gulf. There, we found sea anemones, sea stars and many living, active nocturnal mollusks. There is something both creepy and exhilarating about snorkelingJ in the dark. In the daylight, we made some fantastic paper models of deep-sea fish that use bioluminescence to lure smaller fish within gulping distance. We also made glow-in- the-dark boxes that held secret messages and images, only visible in the darkness. And, of course, we spent lots of time in the water. We canoed from the Causeway Islands, snorkeled seagrass beds, seined for fish, built giant squid sand sculptures and played a “Find The Glowing Clue” underwater game. In keeping with our summer camp tradition, we spent a lot of time every day on a surfboard, which culminates each Friday with the epic, all-camp paddle races.
