Katherine Jones, 9, smiles at volunteer counselor in training Gwen Hooley, right, as the kids say goodbye to the Naples Conservancy's loggerhead turtle before it is released on Thursday, June 26, 2008. The turtle was taken to Minnesota by a tourist on vacation in Sanibel Island while the turtle was still a hatchling. Shortly thereafter, the turtle was turned over to the Minnesota Herpetological Society and lived in a Minnesota zoo for one year before it was brought to Naples in 2005. The turtle was released in Gullivan Bay in the 10,000 Islands off the Southern coast of Florida. Ed Matthews/Staff
