davidcapie.bsky.social @davidcapie.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I was very sorry to learn of the passing of Art Pomeroy, a brilliant Classicist and @VicUniWgtn colleague, Renaissance Man, wine aficionado, and lovely human being this afternoon. Art enriched the lives of everyone who knew him and will be very much missed. Rest in Peace Art. 010 1
