Dear Rosie,
I am trying to find contact info for Eric Bogosian and Andrea Martin, both of whom you have interviewed…..great articles!
We would like to honor them in Philadelphia April 25 on the occasion of America’s 250th and the unveiling of the Armenian Heritage Walk – a beautiful garden with majestic boulders from Armenia and plantings indigenous to Armenia – located steps from the main entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
I sincerely appreciate any help you can provide.
In the meantime, I welcome you to visit our website – armenianheritagewalk.org
