The original owner of the 219 has past ..... Alan owned the wagon from new in 1961 and gave it to his gardener in 2007. The car went in to our collection in late 2007.
Couldn't have met a better guy!
The Late Alan Treloar
Dear Colleagues,
The University was saddened to hear of the death of Alan Treloar, one of the most distinguished members of the UNE community, on Friday 22 July. He was 92.
Alan Treloar studied Classics at the University of Melbourne, and then saw distinguished military service in the Middle East during World War II before taking up – in 1946 – the Rhodes Scholarship to New College, Oxford, that he had been awarded in 1940. After lecturing positions at the Universities of Melbourne, Nottingham, Glasgow and Tasmania, he arrived at UNE in 1960 as the second Master of Wright College – a position he held until 1965.
As UNE’s Reader in Comparative Philology, Sanskrit and Classical Arabic (also teaching classes in languages such as Hebrew and Old Icelandic) from 1966 to 1984, he gave the University community – and the international scholarly community – the full benefit of his vast knowledge of classical and ancient languages including (among many others) Hittite, Akkadian, Sumerian and Ugaritic. He was an Honorary Research Fellow at UNE from 1985, and the University awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters for academic excellence in 1992.
In his “retirement” Alan continued to give his time and knowledge with untiring generosity, giving individual tuition to students and playing an active role in the life of the University as well as pursuing his own scholarly interests.
His beloved wife Bronnie, herself a distinguished academic, passed in 1991. They had three daughters: Anna, Megan and Jeannie.
Alan was the quintessential “scholar and gentleman”; his rigorous approach to scholarship, combined with a gentleness of manner and a humane outlook on the world, made a lasting impression on generations of students and colleagues. He was a generous benefactor of UNE, establishing the Bronnie Treloar Prize in French and contributing to various Classics and Museum of Antiquities projects and annual appeals. The Alan Treloar Postgraduate Scholarship in Classical Philology was established in his honour.
He is survived by daughters Anna and Jeannie, son-in-law James, and grandchildren Sarah, Katy and Alex. His graveside funeral will be in the Church of England section of the Armidale Cemetery at 10 am on Friday 29 July.
Regards
