BELMONT, Mass. - The National Association for Armenian Studies and
Research (NAASR) invites the public to attend `An Evening of
Commemoration and Tribute to NAASR Founding Chairman Manoog S. Young'
on Thurs., Oct. 4 at 8 p.m., at its Belmont headquarters, 395 Concord

Manoog Soghomon Young of Belmont, the founding chairman of NAASR and
its chairman until 2001, passed away on July 3, 2012, at the age of

The evening will feature slides and video of Young, as well as short

nurturing Armenian studies in America, and pay tribute to his vision,
dedication, commitment to high ideals, and rich legacy. In recognition
of Young's singular achievements and seminal role in the development
