Poco the Whale
Poco was known to cavort and play with fishermen and dance with divers. He will be missed but not forgotten. The governments in the U.S. and Canada have been asked to make Poco's bones available for an exhibit that "honours Poco's journey into the lives of humans." Also, to assure that Poco didn't die under fishy circumstances, a necropsy is being performed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

For those desiring to offer condolences or send contributions to the memory of Poco, Interested-Participant recommends that you seek professional help.
