February 11, 1977
Dear Luther:
Last week I wrote you a letter expressing my apprecia-

I have as my house guest, a cousin of mine, Mrs. Noemi
Ouzounian, the only relative that exists from my father's
side, the rest of them having been killed at Der Zor.
When I showed her your drawing, with great. emotion, she
told me that the only reason why she is alive, was

her mother and grandmother arrived in Aleppo, she escap=

martyr, it was your father, who saved the lives of hun-

died.

after your father's death, her mother spent many days
in your home, taking care of you children and trying
to be a comfort to your mother.
uNMFortunately, they all returned to Hadjin intact. My
cousin left for Constanticople to continue her educa-

seeched and she lost all her dear ones over there.
In 1934 she came to California to visit my mother and
evidently at that time your mother was still alive and
