Re: Vartan Gregorian

Vartan Gregorian was the key note speaker at my highschool graduation (he was the president of Brown University at the time).
Out of all those who walked on stage to recieve their diploma, I was the only one who also recieved a big bear hug from him. I was not because I knew him personally (I didn't)...it was because I was Armenian.
