This month’s newsletter includes the largely self-written obituary from the one and only George Tuck. He was a photographer, friend, colleague, student advocate, and above all, Texan. He spent 33 years educating photojournalism students at the University of Nebraska. He spent his years in retirement continuing to brag about his students (even those who didn’t pursue a career in photography). Alums have told me they can’t take a picture with their phone without hearing George’s voice in their head.
