Olympic rower Andrew Sudduth, who rowed on eight national and Olympics teams in the 1980s, won four medals at the World Rowing Championships, and was a five-time winner in singles sculling at the Head of the Charles regatta, has died of pancreatic cancer. At Cisco Systems, he helped develop server technology.
"He was technically one of the most brilliant people I ever worked with," said Brian Shorey, a friend who was Sudduth's boss at Cisco Systems Inc., where he worked until recently. "His mind went a mile a minute and it was tough to keep up with him."
In 1988, Sudduth was the first to notify the world that a computer virus was sweeping the fledgling internet. He was 44.
1. We would love to send our deepest sympathies to Andrew's Dad, Scott, who was a good friend.
