I am grateful to so many at Nichols, but especially to Steve Moscov. We did not meet until my final year, but he became for me a role model in so many ways at school and beyond, as a musician, a scholar, a teacher, a performer and a human being. The kindness, wisdom, and skills he imparted in more ways than I can count are with me to this day more than 40 years later.
