[Ansteorra] I don't know if you knew Mikal the Ram...

[Lisa McGee]

I had the great honor of meeting Master Mikal at Lillies this past June. He told great tell to my children. I am very sad to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. With Gods Speed I say Good Bye Master Mikal.
