In the summer of 1993, the movie “Free Willy” — about a captive killer whale that’s heroically set free — was an unexpected hit. But when word got out that the real whale who played Willy, an orca named Keiko, was dangerously sick and stuck in a tiny pool at an amusement park in Mexico City, fans pleaded for his release. So now, we want to hear from you: What do you remember about Keiko? Maybe you were moved to write letters after watching “Free Willy,” or perhaps you saw him perform live at Reino Aventura in Mexico City. Maybe Keiko made you feel a certain way when you visited his tank in Oregon.
