BTW that is the same Sam Harbison that co-authored "C: A Reference Manual" -
https://www.amazon.com/Reference-Manual-Samuel-P-Harbison/dp/013089592X

His memorial page is here -
https://paw.princeton.edu/memorial/samuel-p-harbison-74

Those in the Pittsburgh area will recognize that family name.

His father (also Samuel P. Harbison) obituary is here -

Some information on his grandfather (and yes, also Samuel P. Harbison) is here -
