Pip Moss

Greg was one of 70 returning lead performers in a gala tribute (May 22) to his retiring 8th grade music teacher, Pip Moss.

Pip as he was known to student and parent alike, had the middle school students produce a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta in each of his 34 years of teaching. Becca, Sarah, and Greg all played lead roles in Mikado, Gondoliers, and Iolanthe, respectively.

The love of music and theatre which Pip stirred in so many since 1969, launched Greg and me into a 15-year tradition of attending all the G&S plays put on by the Harvard-Radcliffe G&S Players. In the last few years, Q has been joining us in our semi-annual dinner-and-a-play pilgrimage into Harvard Square.

What this quinticential, unassuming, generous man gave to so many iin the Lincoln community is remarkable -- and I as a parent am truly thankful.

What a great picture of Paxie. We once had a standard female poodle who was wonderful so I know Paxie will be more than fun. Loved the picture of the production. Helen

Good pics, heartwarming stories, and a surprise entry to boot. My applause .

Now, where on earth did the name Paxie come from? I would have thought Tiffany, or after the poodle to which my mother refers, Bridget. Are those blue eyes, and just how long is that tongue?

I really wish I had joined Dan at the tribute to Mr. Moss (sorry, I just can't call someone I've never met "Pip"
