I was fortunate to have Ms. Perl as my teacher in 12th Grade at Hamilton High, back in 1975. You didn't mess with her, as she didn't readily suffer what she deemed poor effort or impolite behavior. But what an inspiring, dedicated, dynamic teacher she was. And she was clearly a staunch believer in social justice. I learned so much from her, and now, having learned so much from this obituary that I hadn't known about her, I wish I had known her better.
