I am sharing an updated version this morning of the storybook I have written about the MacKenzie Family who were killed in an explosion 105 years ago yesterday, July 9, 1917. Last night late, I added 3 new photos sent to me yesterday afternoon on the explosion anniversary, by their great-granddaughter Linda Garwick. Thank you Linda. More compelling family photos. One is actually a play date at the Mare Island Children’s Playground. Pretty amazing! Thank you for your interest and your love for the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve and for your friendship in this wonderful wildlands community we have created together.
