  1. Tamar, I commend you for all you do for the Armenian cause and for perpetuating the Armenian culture and for a such heart felt article. I am pleasantly surprised that as a fourth-generation post-genocide native Floridian, not only you speak and write Armenian, but you also teach the language to children at Sunday School. A «Հպարտ Հայ» (proud Armenian), indeed you are. I wish you well in your studies to become a physician assistant. And if you happen to marry a deserving non-Armenian, I am sure he will soon become a good Armenian Փեսա (groom) and a good partner to you espousing the Armenian cause and perpetuating the Armenian culture.
