William S. Penzel

West Point, 1993

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Steve Koh on September 5, 2011:

I first met Scott playing 150's football back in 1989, that first plebe summer. His smirk when something went awry or after he played a joke on someone is something that I'll never forget. It's probably why he was so loved by his peers. When he was in a leadership position, he never took himself too seriously. Even when he had to be harsh as a cadet 1st Sergeant he'd duck behind his door and there he'd be smirking at the silliness of it all.

My condolences and sincerest apologies go out to his family.

RIP Freddy. I'm sure that you're smirking somewhere.

Your friend,

Steve
