We present high resolution (R=55,000) optical spectra obtained with MIKE onthe 6.5 m Magellan Clay Telescope as well as Spitzer MIPS photometry and IRSlow resolution (R~60) spectroscopy of the close (14 AU separation) binary, HD101088, a member of the ~12 Myr old southern region of the Lower Centaurus Crux(LCC) subgroup of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association. We find that theprimary and/or secondary is accreting from a tenuous circumprimary and/orcircumsecondary disk despite the apparent lack of a massive circumbinary disk.We estimate a lower limit to the accretion rate of > 1x10^-9 solar masses peryear, which our multiple observation epochs show varies over a timescale ofmonths. The upper limit on the 70 micron flux allows us to place an upper limiton the mass of dust grains smaller than several microns present in acircumbinary disk of 0.16 moon masses. We conclude that the classification ofdisks into either protoplanetary or debris disks based on fractional infraredluminosity alone may be misleading.
