It
is with great sadness to tell everybody that Al (Flyinge Amiral)
died this morning of an apparent heart attack or ruptured aneurysms.
He was being led to the breeding shed for his scheduled freeze, when
he dropped and was unable to get up. He died minutes later in my
arms….
He
will be greatly missed
