The founding chairman of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), Manoog S. Young, passed away July 3, 2012, a few months shy of his 95th birthday. He is mourned by his family and friends, recognizing that Manoog lived a productive, long life. He was a founder and the long-serving (1955-2001) board chairman of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR).
On Thursday, October 4, at 7:30 p.m., two days shy of what would have been Manoog's 95th birthday, NAASR will welcome all who wish to gather to remember and honor Manoog Young's life and work. We hope that the Armenian community will come and join with us in looking back, remembering and honoring a man who worked tirelessly towards worthy goals. In addition, a fund has been established in his name - because no one understood better than Manoog that nothing gets done without money. We hope that those who value the importance of Armenian Studies will give in order to make possible the continuation of that work - work that is never finished.
