IN MEMORIAM PETER KINGSTON

From the Editor

PETER KINGSTON, retired Professor in the Department of Classics, McMaster University, passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton (Ontario), on August 18, 2013. Husband of Isa for 53 years, father to Tracey, Helen, Heather and Andrew, he also leaves nine grandchildren.

A former Chair of the Department of Classics, he also served on numerous occasions as Acting Chair. His publications were few, but include collaborative work on the Oxyrhynchus Papyri in the mid to late 1960s. In 2001 he was awarded the McMaster Students Union Teaching Award in the Humanities. He retired in 2003 after teaching Greek and other subjects at McMaster for 43 years. Beside gardening, probably one of the things he most enjoyed in life was to chat with his students while sipping a glass of red wine at departmental events.
