Sorry. This fish isn't biting anymore.
Oh, I'd say you nibbled. As usual. Never worry, I will always toss you back.
I admire their fortitude and extend my best thoughts to their friends.

To those of you who are familiar with the history of Thoroughbred Information Agency (TIA) and www.thoroughbredinfo.com, there is no easy way to announce the heart-breaking news I received over the weekend that the founder of this company and website, Don Engel, has passed away.
Following is a letter I received from his daughter, Lisa, who asked that I share it with you:
“To all of you in the California Thoroughbred industry, I must sadly inform you that my father, Don Engel, and his wife of 41 years, Jean Engel, decided on December 6th to say goodbye to this world. They were both 85 years old.
Bloodhorse:
Don Engel formed the Thoroughbred Information Agency in 1966 after a chance meeting with a California horseman. While hauling a mare one day, Engel stopped at a gas stallion to refuel and noticed the mare had fallen. Unsure of what to do, Engel drove to a nearly farm and got help from the farm owner. The men were able to get the mare standing upright.
