Daily Nebraskan: Through Our Lens

I spent a bit of my time at work tonight with long-time English professor Robert D. Stock. He was a very amiable, approachable man – I seem to be having good luck with portrait subjects recently. Stock told me he has been teaching English at UNL for 43 years now, and it was apparent that he was very knowledgeable in what he taught.

Despite being an English teacher on mostly classical literature, the first thing Stock mentioned to me when I walked into his home this evening was his car. It makes sense now that I think about it though, just as he enjoys classical literature, he enjoys classical cars. We walked to the back of his house and a 1959 Jaguar was sitting in his driveway.

This blog post is dedicated to his car, which he has maintained and kept in working condition since he bought it decades ago. Look for the first and second image in the paper tomorrow.
