In my joy and sorrow, I reread the Jan. 6, 1937, article printed in the Los Angeles Times, “Armenians Mourn Hero: Kerekin Manoukian, Idolized Leader Against Turkey, Dies Here.” Kerekin was my great-uncle who died before I was born, but his legacy and legend were passed down to me by my grandmother and mother, both immigrants from Van, Armenia.
The article chronicles the unbelievable courage my uncle faced as a revolutionary leader against the Turkish oppression beginning in the early 1900s: “For years he was a thorn in the side of the Turkish Empire and had a price on his head.”

Set Charles Momjian, 91, of Huntingdon Valley, New Jersey, well-known antiques collector and advisor to presidents, died on Monday, April 12 after a long illness.
He was born in Atlantic City in 1930 to Julia and Charles Momjian, both orphaned refugees from the Armenian Genocide who were raised by American missionaries. Charles died at an early age and the family, which included younger brother Albert, had a difficult time during the Depression era.
Momjian attended Atlantic City High School, LaSalle College and Charles Morris Price School of Advertising. After school, he joined the Army, where upon learning that the platoon photographer would have his own private quarters, spent a weekend learning all he could about photography. Returning to Atlantic City, he used this skill again, as the official photographer for the Miss America pageant.
