It was many years ago . . . Marash Girl will not reveal exactly how many . . . . that Sylva, then a senior at Radcliffe College (now Harvard University) sat freshman Marash Girl down and told her about Marash Boy. "This is the man you must marry. You are perfect for each other . . . , he's Armenian, he's Protestant, he has blue eyes, he's getting a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern History from Harvard, AND he's Marashtsi!"
Little did Sylva (or Marash Girl, for that matter) know that many years later, Sylva's blessing would take hold.
Let Marash Girl return the favor, Sylva, and recommend that all of her readers go to the link above and read about the work you are doing: gathering, translating and publishing into book form your father's writings!
From Wikipedia: Shahan Natalie (Armenian: Շահան Նաթալի) (1884–1983) was a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation's Bureau and the principal organizer of Operation Nemesis wherein the Turkish masterminds of the Armenian Genocide were assassinated.[1] He later became a writer on Armenian national philosophy, and notable for his essay, The Turks and Us.
Dear Marash Girl, Thank you so much for your generous gift and for the gift of our many years of friendship. We will always be together in celebrating and perpetuating our Armenian heritage by sharing our stories and those of our ancestors for coming generations. Sylva նաթալի Manoogian
