[LCC] Ned Tuck

[Michael Broder]

Did anyone on this list know Ned Tuck or does anyone know anything about
him?  I just came across his translations of some of the Priapea online and
also found reference to a 1981 doctoral dissertation from UT Austin of the
complete translations.  But since I also found evidence of a scholarship in
honor of him and his partner Bill Peters offered by the College of Marin
Foundation, I suspect they both died of AIDS many years ago.  I don't know
anything about this guy and have only seen three of the translations, but I
feel like we should be doing something about preserving and disseminating
work like this, important contributions by gay male classicists who died of
AIDS before they really had a chance to have careers.

 

Best,

Michael
