I have such admiration for men such as Sahag and his dear wife Margaret who were a part of building a vision such as the advocacy of Armenian Studies ….at a time when it did not exist. I became friend with Sahag through our church and NAASR.
He was a man who remained both intellectually curious and devoted to Armenian causes his entire life. As his body began fo fail him, his mind remained sharp and astute. He always expressed such confidence in the new generation and felt that the legacy of things he was involved in would be protected. His desire to know “what was going on” in NAASR, church or the larger issues in Armenia was so inspiring for a man well into his nineties. Sahag taught me the importance of learning from the experiences and wisdom of our elders……something my grandparents and parents instilled in us and has continued as our paths cross with wonderful people like Sahag. I will miss him, but will always remember our discussions. God bless your soul.
