[LCC] Ned Tuck

[Jones, Gregory S.]

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?
