Matthew Lyon, 45, Historian of the Internet
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
atthew McTee Lyon, co-author of a history of the Internet, died on Saturday
on a visit to Seattle. He was 45 and lived in Berkeley, Calif.  Mr. Lyon, an
assistant vice chancellor of the University of California, died apparently
of a heart attack, the university said.   He and his wife, Katie Hafner,
wrote "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet" (Simon
Schuster). First published in 1996, it remains in print.  Mr. Lyon was born
in Willimantic, Conn. He graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass.
He held a number of positions in journalism and was a speechwriter and
director of national issues for Representative Richard A. Gephardt, Democrat
of Missouri, before joining the University of Texas as an assistant to the
president. He was named assistant vice chancellor for public affairs at
Berkeley in January 1999, responsible for media and government relations.
Besides his wife, a reporter for the Circuits section of The New York Times,
survivors include their daughter, Zoe; his parents, Richard and Denny McTee
Lyon of Austin; and two brothers, Jeremy, of Coos Bay, Ore., and Alexander,
of Austin.
