BELL CHEVIGNY

I still remember a wondrous dinner with Bell and Paul and a few fellow-undergrads at their apartment. That's when Bell handed me a treasure. To add to what I already wrote, this is from a book I'm writing about fifty of my 78 plays: Having a drama degree from PA, I assumed I´d be a big star in college but initially got only a few bit parts including "Five of Spades" in Alice in Wonderland. Then I landed a dream role - Stephen Dedalus in Ulysses in Nighttown, adapted from James Joyce´s...

Her work on Margaret Fuller fueled both my and my mother's passionate interest in this extraordinary woman. I offer my sincere condolences and respect for a life well lived. Her teaching, writing, and work are a living legacy.

I did not know Professor Bell Chevigny, but I lived across the street from her for many years and was fortunate to have her brilliant husband, Professor Chevigny, as my professor when I was in law school. i have heard, however, about what a wonderful person Bell was from many people, including Bernardo Polombo. My heartfelt sympathies to Professor Chevigny and his family for their loss and hope that time will help the family focus on the wonderful contributions Professor Chevigny made to...

Bell was my comp lit teacher at Queens College when I was 18. She introduced me to sublime books, especially Joyce's ULYSSES. When I played the role of Stephen Dedalus in a theatrical adaptation, she lent me her father's ashplant walking stick, which Stephen called his, "augur's rod of ash." She also let me keep her father's blackthorn. Her teaching was sheer inspiration and her influence was profound.

Bell was one of the best professors I ever had, inspiring new ways to look at women's and Latin-American literature. She was incredibly supportive and helpful to me in many ways.

I knew her only the briefest of time. She sat next to me on an airplane coming back to New York from a literary conference. She was sick but we talked and talked. She was wonderful. The flight stays in my memory. Lovely human being

Dear Paul, Katy and Blue, My friend Gail Marks just informed me of Bell's death, just as I was thinking of calling her today. I am so glad you and she put together her Zoom gathering last spring. I hope that her last weeks and passing were relatively easy and pain-free. She was, as Paul said, ambitious for everyone; she was a jewel of a person. I'm sending you my love and condolences. Gary sends condolences as well. I will call after a while. I hope you are all together and...

Paul, Our most profound sympathies to you and your daughters at this time of Bell's passing. We will miss the interactions with her that occurred in so many ways; in your beautiful home, at our clinical practice, on the street in her scooter, etc. We learned so much from Bell and are grateful for the trust she had in us to care for her. We hope it was enough to offer her some comfort and an improved quality of life each time. It was a blessing for John to be able to spend time with Bell...
