Emily Argo died in sea she loved
Dan Argo said he wasn't surprised that although his daughter, Emily, grew up hundreds of miles from the ocean, she became a conservation biologist who worked to save manatees and whales -- work that cost the 25-year-old Cleves native her life in a Sunday plane crash into the Atlantic.
"We always vacationed in Florida," Argo said Friday from his Cleves home, "and one year for something to do we went to the Tampa zoo in 1991.
"They had manatees at the time and she just fell in love with them. The next year she contacted (the zoo) about going behind the scenes there and when we went behind the scenes, she decided that's what she wanted to do."
After graduating from Taylor High in 1995 as valedictorian, she went to Ohio Northern University. Despite its distance from the ocean, her interest in ocean life increased, her father said, because the dean of her department also was a marine biologist.
Part of her college requirements were to spend time in Florida doing lab work. That was followed by an internship and a position with the Florida Fish and Wildlife department that paid so poorly, she had to take other jobs to get by.
"She never complained a bit," Argo said. "We'd call her and just get wore out listening to her schedule. She loved it down there."
Then she got a job with the Wildlife Trust, helping track and research whales off the coast of southern Georgia and northern Florida.
"When she told me she got the job, I said 'I want a job where you can wear shorts to work and go on a boat and look for whales and manatees,'" Argo said.
She and others were in a small airplane last weekend searching for whales. At about 3:15 p.m. Sunday, the plane radioed back that whales had been spotted about eight miles off the coast. Then the plane crashed into the ocean, killing her and three others.
"She was probably the most caring person that I've ever run into," her father said. "She had that personality that people fell in love with."
A private 2 p.m. funeral service at Westwood United Methodist Church Sunday will be followed by the family receiving visitors in the church.
Memorials may be directed to Save the Manatee, 500 N. Maitland, Maitland, Fla. 32751 or to the Wildlife Trust, 1200 Lincoln Suite 2, Prospect Park, Pa. 19076.
