Perle and Ed Feldman have been active in Folk dancing in Southern California longer
than anyone else knows. They personally witnessed the formations of the Los Angeles,
San Diego, Orange County and San Gabriel Valley Branches of the RSCDS. Though
charming little Perle no longer feels up to the rigors of Scottish Country Dancing,
Ed has been a regular at the Culver City class for many years.
