Q:  Could you paint a picture of the community of 
people around Marshall McLuhan at the time you 
worked with him?

A:  Marshall McLuhan’s community was like The 
Village People. Everyone was there, it was so much 
fun. There was a car salesman: he taught Marshall 
about what was on the streets, what people were 
concerned about. There was a man that was on 
the executive at St. Lawrence Cement Company. 
There were scholars, there were artists, poets—
lots of poets—and film makers, scholars, 
scientists. It was fun. Everyone was there to have a 
good time and to learn.
