But for Mrs. Wappas' third graders — those carefully tightroping their way around its perimeter across a strand of narrow weathered boards that, in this tepid prelude to a Florida winter, now hover safely over the dried mud - the melting freshwater pond is as vast as the Gulf shore waters. Among the various bobbing heads of the elementary crew mingle their stalwart companions, 12 seventh grade junior jiat- uralist guides and somewhere, not lost in the fray, trudges Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation's environmental educator, Richard Finkel.
