Three Pictures from Haig Krakirian

As of 4-23-2020 (During the stay at home pandemic)

Laura,
As we have plenty of time on our hands these days, and with your prodding, I decided to dig through old photos that were stashed in old envelopes and boxes. After sifting though hundreds of photos, I came across these 3 pics of my dad with grandma Zabel. They were tiny pictures (2x2 or 2x3), but I scanned them in high resolution to make them larger, so they are a bit blurry. There were no dates on these photos, but I estimated them based on my dad’s look (and amount of hair on his head :-). I could be off by a few years. I put the dates on the filenames.

Enjoy ;)

Haig.

	Hi Everyone, (this refers to the pictue on the left) We have proof that we’re cousins :-)) While we were digging up photos of the past, Alain found this picture of us with your mom/grandma Helen - I believe it was at her 90th birthday celebration at a small banquet hall. That’s me on the left, and Alain on the right (and of course my mom and dad and grandma). We most probably met all of you back then, but unfortunately I don’t remember much except that it was a big family gathering with too many new faces!! Much love, - Haig (received 27 April 2020)
