Dear Colleagues,


He will indeed be missed. I was honored to have been part of a project with


him. He was a great scholar, translator and pioneer.

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
