[LCC] Ned Tuck

[Michael Broder]

I should let everyone know that the Ned Tuck who translated the Priapea for
his dissertation in 1981 is alive, well, and teaching secondary school Latin
in Austin, Tex.  We've corresponded, and he's pleased that people still care
about his work, although publication back then was not in the cards for him,
and he's taken a different route.  But I still think the idea embraced by
Greg is a good one.

Best,
Michael

I think this is a great idea.  I possibly know of some bay area 
scholars whose student/early work is preserved at the SFSU Classics 
department.  When I return from summer travels I would be very 
interested in pursuing this further.  Any other ideas/leads from fellow 
LCCers on this great initiative?
