Carolyn Dean & Bob Neveritt | 40 Years in the Wilderness, 2004

Bob, Walter Bowart and James Curtis/Martinez attend Gerry Fialka’s Finnegans Wake Society meeting in Venice CA, February 2004.

Professor Donald Theall, former President of Trent University (1979-1987) in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, Marshall McLuhan’s most learned PhD student, meets Gerd Stern, an early enthusiast of McLuhan, at Carolyn and Bob’s home on City Island NY.

Don and Gerd were born within 24 hours of each other in October, 1928, and both grew up in New York City.

Don has written two books on Marshall McLuhan and two books on James Joyce. https://amzn.to/38VFNUj

Don, the scholar, learned more about the Art world of New York City from Gerd.

Gerd, the Forrest Gump of the Art world, who is a poet and one of the originators of mixed-media installations in the 60s, learned more about McLuhan scholarship from Don.

Over the last fifteen years, Gerd has been invited by many universities to discuss his personal experiences with Marshall McLuhan, whom Gerd, like Don, considers a prophet.
