now \"vyraap Clifford Evans died suddenly of a heart attack on January 19,1981. His passing sent shock waves through the Smithsonian Institution, where he had served ably for 30 years, and throughout North and South America where his scholarly and administrative acumen had contributed so much and helped so many over the years. Clifford Evans was born on June 13, 1920, in Dallas, Texas, the oldest child of Clifford and Pearl Weiss Evans. After his father's death when Cliff was 6 years old the family moved to San Bernardino, California. By the time he was 9, Cliff had decided he wanted to become an archaeologist, much to the bewilderment of his schoolmates who thought him odd or called him \"Ditch Digger.\" Cliff attended Sturgis Junior and San Bernardino Union Senior high schools and in 1937 he entered San Bernardino Valley Union Junior College where he studied zoology, botany, and geology in preparation for his planned career in archaeology. He also mowed lawns and managed the school bookstore to support his college studies. In 1939 Cliff received an Associate of Arts degree from the junior college and enrolled as an anthropology major at the University of Southern California. In the summer of 1940 he, together with classmate George Kepler Lewis, attended the University of Arizona archaeological fieldschool at Forestdale, directed by Emil Haury.
