<p>Harry Huskey was born over 101 years ago, on January 19, 1916 in the Smokey Mountain region of North Carolina, but soon moved with his family to Idaho. Being raised on a farm, he was used to dealing with all issues that would arise, a trait his family, colleagues, students and friends valued immensely. As a high school student, Mathematics was easy for him. He obtained a BS degree from the University of Idaho in 1937.</p>
<p>He was one of the last surviving scientists in the vanguard of the computer revolution, who helped develop what was once billed as the first personal computer because it took only one person to operate, though it was the size of two refrigerators, died on April 9 at his home in Santa Cruz, Calif. He was 101.</p>

<p>His first job was teaching mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania as an assistant professor, largely to students of the U.S. Navy during World War II. Huskey applied for and won a job - with top secret clearance - working on the famed ENIAC system at Penn's Moore School. ENIAC was the first general-purpose computer, and Huskey is one of the last surviving members of the ENIAC team. He had heard about classified projects in the Moore School and decided to apply for a part-time job there. Since the project was classified, he did not find out until he got his clearance that he would be working on the ENIAC, which was the first general-purpose electronic computer. </p>

<p>After WWII, Huskey spent a year working at the National Physical Laboratories in England, where he led leading work on the ACE Test Assembly computer and working worked with Alan Turing. In 1950, he went on to design and manage the construction of the SWAC (National Bureau of Standards Western Automatic Computer) in Los Angeles, CA. After five years at the National Bureau of Standards, he joined the faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of California, Berkeley in 1954. While at Berkeley, he designed the G15, which was manufactured and sold by Bendix Aviation Corporation. The G15 was the first computer that could perhaps be called a “personal,” computer, since in that one person could operate it. </p>

<p>When the University of California, Santa Cruz opened, Harry Huskey took the offer to join the faculty there. As a professor there, he advised universities in many countries on how to develop an academic computer science program and also helped universities start their computer centers. He spent two years in India working at I.I.T. Kanpur and Delhi University, through the support of the Ford Foundation and USAID. With UNESCO support, he supplied technical support to the Yangon University in Burma (Myanmar). At the age of 70, he retired from the University of California.</p>
