The Red Angus breed and cattle business lost a great one today. Mary Von Forrel pasted away to day after a lengthy illness. She was a lady I have tremendous respect for and was a "cowboy" to the end. I have no doubt that she got to the pearly gates asking where her tie out were. My thoughts and prayers to the Von Forrel family. RW

I met Mary and Hardy Von Forrel many years ago while working for the Hardy ranch. She was a woman with vision and tough as nails. She absolutely hated whining and crybabies. She instilled a tough work ethic into her children and they are good cattlemen today. In my humble opinion, they have the undisputed honorable distiction of having the finest RED ANGUS herd in the USof A period. Mary you WILL be missed by young and us oldtimers alike.
