Now this is news! Well done Baron Gregorian. Our youth need to see and read more such success stories. I take it this is something like an ANCA L. Sarkissian Program but in the White House. This can be quite useful for our new generation of youth interested in public service. I wonder if a similar program could be developed in Armenia with guidance from the Civilitas Foundation.
Obama Appointed Vartan Gregorian in the white house.
I never felt that Barack would betray us.
We suffered worse than slaves.
We reached from farther than Africa to USA–
From Anatolia where our ancestors
Before Christ where there.
Slaves lived in hope to be free
But our fleshes were thrown in deserts
Then traveled through rivers to enter Gulf Sea
The Bedouins saved us, they know well
Who are we and what others did to us.
However, we never lost hopes
With Siamanto we still could sing.
That we will sing thorough the hopeful roads
To our written destiny.
Everyone know us from East to West
We are born Honest
Our genes are blessed
By talented— kindness.
Obama can’t slay us,
He knows, we don’t have scimitars.
But we have well documented arts.
We have soulful poems for every one
Who knows human right.
Dear Vartan Gregorian, I worked at Brown when you were the President and there were times when you, so generously, engaged in conversation with me. One time in particular was when annually, administrative people were consulted to pool our efforts to come up with more efficient ways that the University would best fit the needs of the employees and staff. We were taking a photo of all the participants and you, so graciously, joined us in the photo as well. I had to return a University phone call and was not present at that moment. You, so graciously, set out to search for Nearpass, and you found me and escorted me to the photo shoot. We all gathered around you and you insisted that Nearpass stand up front with you. I’ll never forget this happy memory. You were so revered throughout the University and especially by me. Thank you for this wonderful memory, I have always respected you so much. God Bless You.
