Grandpa Peter and the Belly Dancer at Karoun Restaurant in Newtonville Square

When Karoun Restaurant, a restaurant featuring Armenian and Middle Eastern food and music, was nestled in Newtonville Square on the corner of Washington and Walnut Streets, Grandpa Peter would, on occasion, treat the family to supper there . The kids loved the music of the Middle Eastern band and the Armenian and Arabic line dancing. On one such auspicious occasion, a belly dancer -- scantily clad -- was featured. Grandpa Peter was the only man in the room who was NOT ogling the belly dancer, and . . . yes, you guessed it . . . the belly dancer chose to wrap her veils around the one man who continued to ignore her -- Grandpa Peter. A handsome guy was Grandpa Peter, muscled with light skin and blue eyes, and very accustomed, (in this case and many others, Marash Girl is certain,) to women throwing themselves at him . . . both literally and figuratively. But his blue eyes were only for Grandma Jennie!!!!
