Vartabedian: My Final Column

November 13, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 43

After a courageous battle with liver cancer, longtime Armenian Weekly columnist Tom Vartabedian passed away last night. Vartabedian’s name is no stranger to the pages of the Armenian Weekly—he has volunteered his services as a […]

A Hat to Match Any Occasion

October 19, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 0

A man who loses his head at being angry or upset may be better off than most of us. He doesn’t have to worry about which hat to wear. My closet is full of them […]

More Smiles Keep the Frowns Away

October 12, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 0

The other day, I found myself shuffling along Faneuil Hall in Boston, side-stepping the crowd that converged around a clown providing a comedy routine. I was feeling rather low this day. Maybe the bumper-to-bumper traffic […]

Richard Sarajian: New Jersey’s Man for All Seasons

September 30, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 0

Don’t go calling Richard Sarajian a community activist or anything of the sort…unless you want another point of view. To his fellow Armenians, constituents, religious and political pundits, he’s simply one involved Armenian doing his […]

Vartabedian: Why We Love Our School Teachers

September 22, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 3

My favorite school teacher was not found in a gym, nor was it English, where I seemed to excel.  Suppose if I wanted to be a journalist, I needed to make the grade here and […]

Kushigian Still Getting Football Notice

September 19, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 0

The way Boston College football is going the past couple years, the Eagles could surely use a guy like Harry Kushigian, even in his mid-70’s. He still looks the part of that bruising lineman back […]

Alashaians Keep AYF Olympic Name in the Forefront

September 16, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 0

What’s in a name? Plenty, especially if the name is Alashaian and you’re talking the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) Olympics. It spans three generations and marks a crescendo when it comes to New Jersey-ites. It […]

An AYF Olympics Pre-Empted…By an Armenian Church Shutdown

September 14, 2016 Tom Vartabedian 1

HAVERHILL, Mass. (A.W.)—On a day when I would normally have been covering Sunday’s Armenian (AYF) Olympic Games, fate had taken me to another destiny—a far greater mission than a mile or a long jump. I covered the […]

Coffee Houses Serve an Ideal Place
