Larry, Monica, et al. Many years ago, it must have been around 1976, I invited John Shotter to speak at Bedford College, University of London, where I was working as a research assistant. For some reason they put me in charge of the invited speaker series, and John was my first invitation. He bought a "shoppers' special" train ticket from Nottingham to London. I don't recall whether or not he was drawing on Merleau-Ponty at that time - I had stumbled across M-P in college a couple of years earlier - but he was already working on topics that for me were interesting. Small world, and smaller all the time! Martin On Jul 24, 2011, at 3:30 PM, Monica Hansen wrote: > Larry, > I am wondering the same thing.
