  1. Thank you for alerting us to this book. I’ll be announcing it to our local Detroit Armenian Women’s Club meeting for others to learn of it.

  2. Thank you for this article! I will get the book as soon as I can! I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr Kirkorian but I can say that I worked for him (unbeknownst to him, obviously) at MGM in Beirut, Lebanon!
