I couldn’t believe the game’s outcome, but there it was: a score of 2-1 in favor of the hard-playing Pittsburg Penguins.

Betty Apigian-Kessel

Betty (Serpouhie) Apigian Kessel was born in Pontiac, Mich. Together with her husband, Robert Kessel, she was the proprietor of Woodward Market in Pontiac and has two sons, Bradley and Brant Kessel. She belonged to the St. Sarkis Ladies Guild for 12 years, serving as secretary for many of those years. During the aftermath of the earthquake in Armenia in 1988, the Detroit community selected her to be the English-language secretary and she happily dedicated her efforts to help the earthquake victims. She has a column in the Armenian Weekly entitled “Michigan High Beat.”

  1. Why congratulations? This man–Handel–still has a job. There is nothing to congratulate our community about. Also interesting to see the hockey lament came first.

  2. Just a little correction ;-) Detroit was one of the original SIX teams in the NHL, not five! Montreal, Toronto, New York, Boston, Detroit and Chicago.
    And we all know who’ll win it next year —-> Les Canadiens de Montréal!

    Very nice article though!
