I regret to pass along a message I got from his sister that Mike Muuss
was killed in an automobile accident last night.
Mike was instrumental in the early days of the TCP/IP deployment.  Mike
supervised the installation and maintenance of then little known
operating system called UNIX at Johns Hopkins University in the late
seventies.  After graduation he went to work for the U.S. Army BRL,
where he coordinated a group of UNIX, Graphics, and Network developers.
Mike spent time debugging the early BSD networking code in the dawn of
it's deployment, was editor of the TCP/IP digest, and assisted greatly
in the hosting of the first IETF meeting.  His most visible legacy was
that he wrote the "ping" program that most network users have come to
use as their primary network testing tool.
He will be sadly missed.
