Not sure what to say?

I'm not sure if this page is still active but I wanted to write something for Mr. Pearlmutter. I just heard on TV a commentator mentioning his most influential teacher and that we should all reach out to ours. Mr. Pearlmutter was mine at Foxboro High School in the 60's.

I was so very sorry to learn of Alvins passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family

Mr. Pearlmutter,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

The absolute best teacher I had in High School.

Mr. Pearlmutter was a truly influential teacher. I'll never forget our project on "How a Bill Becomes a Law" early in our Civics class.

He was an awesome teacher - loved him

Leslie,Gary, Mark, Bernie, grandchildren and great- grandchildren-
It was such a privilege to know Al as a former teacher, colleague, mentor,and friend. As a professional educator, he made a great impact not only at FHS but also throughout the South Shore and Massachusetts. He held high standards and was highly respected. He will be remembered.

So glad to have been in his classroom. Great friend/teacher.
My condolences to his family.
