From the October 1, 1964 Weekly

In the process of writing an article for the Armenian Weekly’s 90th anniversary magazine, I seriously dove into the archives. I knew I would be amazed by the articles I was looking for in order to write that article, and indeed I was. What really surprised me, though, were all the other gold nuggets I stumbled upon in the process. There is a wealth of history about our community and our people in these archives. It was good to be reminded of articles I had read but long forgotten. It was even better to see and read articles published before I was a reader of the Weekly and, more so, before I was born. 

It seems to me that we should honor this 90th anniversary by reviewing some of the gems in the archives and maybe even reprinting some of them. I will start by launching this column, and hopefully, it becomes regular. But it should not be my column only. If that was the case, you would only see articles that spark memories or resonate with me. It would be a richer experience to see what articles prompt a response from others.
