Personal note: Al’s parents would have brought him to the US, around the same time as the attempted genocide. I only remember him as a young man and I’m unsure if I really remember him or remember stories of him. I have old photos of being held by him in his Navy uniform with his arm around his Mom at a backyard Armenian family gathering. I don’t know what happened to him, he may have died in WWII. But strangely, though I was about 3, the photos come alive for me. I remember strange food, his Mama’s broken English and the loud, happy, loving people at the party. .
