> It is an unpleasant task in notifying you that our good friend, Dr. Darrell
> Penrod, K9MUG, passed away on October 14, 2014 after sustaining a fall at his
> home. Darrell was 77 yrs young and loved life and amateur radio. He
> operated at my place many times and was an accomplished DXer, CW op, RTTY op
> and had 340/347 confirmed in the ARRL DXCC Mixed Standings.
>
> “The MUG” had a BS in engineering from from Northwestern, an MS in math from
> Washington State and a PhD in engineering from Illinois. He taught
> vibrations and dynamics in the mechanical engineering department at Auburn
> and was also a professor at Notre Dame. Most people didn’t know about
> Darrell’s credentials, however, if you ever spent any time with him, you knew
> he was extremely intelligent. Darrell taught me more life lessons than
> academics and I miss him already.
>
> Darrell loved RTTY contesting, even though he was an accomplished CW op. To
> steal from Eric, W4DXX today, “The MUG” is 599 everywhere now.
