Dear Vernian friends,

It is with great sorrow that I announce to you the death of Stanford L.
Luce, professor emeritus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and a
life-long Verne enthusiast. Stan was the translator of several new Verne
translations published by Wesleyan University Press: THE MIGHTY ORINOCO
(2002), THE BEGUM'S MILLIONS (2005), and THE KIP BROTHERS (2007). This
latter title has just been published byWesleyan and is now available for
purchase via their website at http://www.wesleyan.edu/wespress/ . Stan was
the author of the very first Ph.D. thesis on Jules Verne--"Jules Verne:
Moralist, Writer, Scientist" (Yale University, 1953)--and was also a scholar
of Céline.
I have conveyed my deepest sympathies to his wife, Luanne, on behalf of
Wesleyan and the entire Vernian community. These 3 Verne translations will
stand forever as Stan's memorial. He will be missed.

Sadly,
Art
