Harold Yarger, age 85, passed away peacefully on February 24, at his home in Seguin, Texas. Harold enjoyed running with the KU faculty Mad Dogs (named for Rudyard Kipling's "Mad dogs and Englishmen run in the noon day sun"). Running was a huge part of Harold's life; many of his best friends were runners. He competed in twenty plus marathons, including the Boston Marathon and the Chevron sponsored Houston Marathon. For many years, he recruited and supervised volunteers for the Houston Marathon registration day. More on Harold in his obituary.
