Letters to the Editor
Dear Prof. Der Mugrdechian:
It was your father Bob, who told us
about Hye Sharzhoom and got us
on the mailing list. We have enjoyed receiving the news. It's fun
to get a slant from Fresno on church
news and events we have here and
you have there.
Your students and studies sound
wonderful for the students involved.
How wonderful your program has
been so successful!
Sincerely,
Dorothy (Mgardician) Emir-

my mother picked up her three children and came to America in 1921.
I was the oldest, 5 years old. My
mother's parents lived in New
York.
I want to let you know that at the
time we did not have any such
programs as having in Fresno, now.
That i s wonderful, Take advantage
of them, and appreciate them, and
attend them.
...I'm 87 yrs. old.
