I would just like to say that I found that article very interesting. I am 29 years old and I have lived in the U.S. for about 24 years. I've read many books about our homeland. F ve learned many things about our nation, military conquests and defeats. I've learned about great achievements in medicine, I've read about act and music. I've taken in all this information. When I read Miss Simonians' s article, I felt a pride about our people that's difficult to put into words. It's not shocking to me, that people who are enduring such hardships, but yet make gifts to strangers. That bracelet that Miss Simonian was given is just another testament of the character of such a noble people. It fills my heart and makes me proud to be able to be a part of a race of people, known as Armenian. Some day I hope to go there and live among such honorable people as that little old lady. Thank you, Miss Simonian for such a wonderful story. Vrej Apelian CSP-Corcoran, California Dear Editor, Someone should check Hye Sharzhoom for accuracy of dates and names. In your November 1993 issue, the article by Mr. Scott Abajian Asmar, "Armenia: Where It's Been and Where It's Going" has errors. TheArab invasion was in the 10th century A.D. The massacres of 1894-96 were ordered by Sultan Abdul Hamid. The massacres of Adana were ordered by the Young Turks, (Enver, Talaat and Jemal) in 1909. There are plenty of books and savvy Armenians in Fresno to give you the correct information. Sincerely, Nishan Nercessian Westminster, California Dear Editor, I really enjoy the paper. I'm not Armenian but my husband is. I really enjoyed the November issue because it had a recipe- Keufta. I liked it because it was Americanized!!! I read about the class of Norma Der Mugrdechian and would like the Yalance recipe. Is there a good Americanized Armenian recipe book? Please add recipes to your paper. Thanks. Adrienne Chakerian Reedley, California Dear Friends at Hye Sharzhoom, I must write to let you know how happy I am to be receiving your paper. I am of Armenian heritage from the East Coast and throughout my eighteen plus years since moving out west, have not come in contact with more than two or three Armenians in that time. Fm the type of person who might hear someone in a department store, for instance, speaking Armenian to another and I run up to that couple crying, "Hye es!? Yes hye em!!.. I've been countered with a strange look or two, but most times I feel it's like running into lost family. Which brings me to the reason I was compelled to write. I read Stephan Bulbulian's very eloquent poem in your November issue entitled This Mountain. I wanted to compliment Mr. Bulbulian and let him know that it touched me. Fm in the middle of reading The Forty Days of Musa Dagh and so feel particularly vulnerable. I think it's very important to pass down to our children an appreciation of our heritage. We must always remember who we are and how miraculous it is that we, by God's grace are still here as a people! Although scattered to the ends of the earth, the ancient blood of Armenia runs through our veins. No matter what country we many find ourselves in, we are all family. We have survived, against the odds. We have the tenacity an the strength of the faith of our forefathers to attribute to that. I am proud to call myself an Armenian and am so pleased to know that there are 30,000 or so of them in the Fresno area alone! So when I call the staff at Hye Sharzhoom "friends" it's because I feel a connection when I read your publications and when I see the faces in the photos, and read the last names, and let my eyes caress the shapes of our unique alphabet... I feel a tug in my soul. We are the legacy that has survived the trials of the ages. Let us not forget, let us remember. Sincerely, Madelaine Hairrell Los Banos, California P.S. May your press run, as well as our people, grow and prosper! Dear Editor and Respected Friends, We received with pleasure your newspaper and are hopeful that we will receive it regularly in the future. I thank you for your thoughtfulness as the paper is very interesting. We read with interest the story in the October issue about the recent publication of Dr. Dickran Kouymjian's "The Arts of Armenia." That work is very important in making Armenians and non-Armenians aware of Armenian art. I also received the November issue, and was very impressed by Dr. Vahakn Dadrian' s article on the Genocide.

Stephan Bulbulian You see them on the streets, in the most unlikely places. At first, you think., "you know them." Stare closely at their faces, they are of happy fortune. Through the eyes, you make an instant recognition, rich with twisted scrollwork. (They are your eyes) and they shine, viscous, clear and fair on the far horizon, dark as a plowed field, a rain of endless grief, a paradox of collective sorrow. At first touch, you feel tender fingers of each kind of dried fruit. Kiss each cheek, you touch flesh like fine sandpaper, you taste salt of many sad rivers, Under the skin you sense A londing for far-away soil. You see with old melancholy eyes. Recipe for Leaving By Baloian As clear as a door closing, our silence listens to the afternoon decompose into grains of broken time. We act to seperate ourselves from ourselves without waste or necessity. All warnings fall like leaves into water, and the weather makes it impossible to hang on in a life where dreams live forever. My exile stiffens into cold shapes held by the fingertips of the wind. Forgetting the way home, your vx)ice sings into the open raod like a delicate thread seeking the eye of a needle. Armenia By Baloian In an endless dreamland o cpanic, each tribe puts one fooi in front of the other and remains, embracing the darkness ' with ignijed eyes. Befoie the dream is forgoten, musicians uplift dancers on the divine ground where stars join together. In all directions jackals pace among tits delicate wisdoms of survival; and where the dark j repares a room, breaths are knitted together, so nothing wiB be forgotten.
