Marvin Moss, former CESE Board Member
Marvin Moss, a long time member of CESE, and a board member for a number of years, has died in California, where he moved in 2016. He was active in many things, including politics, The New Mexico Academy of Science, and CESE. He was a founder of the first Montessori school in Albuquerque; both of his daughters attended this school in the 1960s. He also was one of the people who pushed for the creation of Explora, and saw it through until it became real brick and mortar. He loved opera and was a member of the Southwest Opera Guild when he lived here. He met his wife, Joan Carolyn Moss, when he was working in Los Alamos. Their first date was at the Santa Fe Opera, right after it was first established; Joan passed away in 2001. Marvin was a punster, a player with words, and a very precise speaker. He was an eloquent and passionate defender of science, science education, and civil liberties, and will be missed.
