STEVENS, W. Richard, noted author of computer books died on September
   1. He is best known for his ``UNIX Network Programming'' series (1990,
   1998, 1999), ``Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment'' (1992),
   and ``TCP/IP Illustrated'' series (1994, 1995, 1996).
   Richard was born in 1951 in Luanshya, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia),
   where his father worked for the copper industry. The family moved to
   Salt Lake City, Hurley, New Mexico, Washington, DC and Phalaborwa,
   South Africa. Richard attended Fishburne Military School in
   Waynesboro, Virginia. He received a B.SC. in Aerospace Engineering
   from the University of Michigan in 1973, and an M.S. (1978) and Ph.D.
   (1982) in Systems Engineering from the University of Arizona. He moved
   to Tucson in 1975 and from then until 1982 he was employed at Kitt
   Peak National Observatory as a computer programmer. From 1982 until
   1990 he was Vice President of Computing Services at Health Systems
   International in New Haven, CT, moving back to Tucson in 1990. Here he
   pursued his career as an author and consultant. He was also an avid
   pilot and a part-time flight instructor during the 1970's.
   He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Sally Hodges Stevens;
   three wonderful children, Bill, Ellen and David; sister, Claire
   Stevens of Las Vegas, NV; brother, Bob and wife Linda Stevens of
   Dallas, TX; nieces, Laura, Sarah, Collette, Christy; and nephew, Brad.
   He is predeceased by his parents, Royale J. Stevens (1915-1984); and
   Helen Patterson Stevens (1916-1997). Helen lived in Tucson from
   1991-1997, and Royale lived here in the early 1930's attending Tucson
   High School while his father was treated for TB at the Desert
   Sanitorium (now TMC).
   The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in
   Richard's name to Habitat for Humanity, 2950 E. 22nd Street, Tucson,
