Hello
Razmik.
I have a
friend in IRAN and his name is
Mehdi Bash looking for his old
friend name Razmik. Just wanted
to find out if you are that
person or not ???
But a way,
dametoon garm for adab website.

I found Pauline
Middleton's missing friends and
put her in touch with them.Alas
her uncle Gevorg and his wife
Armik passed away few years ago.
However her friend Aida is
living in Tehran and her
daughter in Yerevan.

Hi Razmik
My father,
Harry Middleton (British) was in
Abadan 1939 – 61, and again in
1980. He built and ran the
turbines for the Power Station
for the refinery. My mother is
Phyllis Middleton. I was named
after one of their good friends,
Armenians who were in Abadan for
many, many years. We lost touch
after the Shah left Iran.
They gave
me my middle name, Armick. I
only knew then as Uncle Catchy,
or Katchy, and Aunty Armick.
Their last name was Katchatorian
(Catchatorian), but had been
Gazacarnian (sp?) before they
left Armenia. They had a niece
called Zeda (Sada?)Gazacarnian
or Katchatorian, who went to
school in England, also a
daughter who was a professional
pianist, who studied in London,
and who stayed for holidays with
my grandparents in Essex,
England.
Is there
any way I can trace these good
friends? My father is now 93 and
my mother is 88 and I would love
to be able to tell them that we
have traced Armick and Catchy’s
family.
My parents
live in England. I live with my
husband in New Orleans, LA, USA.
My maiden name was Pauline
Armick Middleton, now Pauline
Armick Brown.
Many
thanks for your time.

Thank you
for creating Adab website, It
has given me countless hours of
pleasure remembering good old
days. I am sure many others
would agree with me that living
in Abadan, attending our school
and friendships we formed then
are very precious and unique.
This website is also a unique
historical record of our time in
Abadan.
My school
friend Vacheh Hagnzarian, some
years ago, was tasked to write
and collate a history of
Armenians in Abadan. He
collected countless pictures
from Abadanis, copies of
official documents from Vank in
Isfahan and documented oral
memories of number of people.
I hope he managed to complete
this vast task.
Keep up
the excellent work that you
started and once again thank you
for your efforts in creating
this website.
If you speak to Levik
Yeghiazarian or Denis Badal
please give them my regards.
Denis used to live opposite our
house and Levik is related
through my uncle. By the way
Levik does look like spitting
image of his father.
My full name is Armen
Khachaturian just in case guys
want to know who I am.
To start
of there are some school
pictures. Later on I will send
you some pictures from
ceremonies in our school of 2500
years of Persian monarchy and Ex
Shahs inauguration ceremonies.

I haven't posted anything yet so
don't worry about your mailbox being

It is just me being lazy. I am going

that I can remember.
It is very valuable service that you
have started to capture a unique
time and lifestyle that we all had
in Abadan.
Thank you for creation of this site
it is full of wonderfull memories.
Regards
Armen

My
name is Mariet Bagoomian. I was
born and lived in Abadan as well
as studied in Adab School. I
highly appreciate your work and
this wonderful web-site you have
created. It brings back my sweet
and wonderful memories.
I
currently live in Dubai and I
came across your web-site and
noticed that you do not have
pictures from the year 1957 and
since this is the year I was
born, I decided to send you a
few pictures I have.
Thank you again for your effort
and hope you continue the good
work! I hope these pictures help
you with your web-site.

Dear Razmik (Razmik
jan)
You have done
an incredibly difficult and noble
job. God bless you.
I think we
(who lived and grew up in Abadan)
are one of the luckiest people in
the world. It has been a an amazing
life and a wonderful journey.
Here are some
of my (our Photos) both from the
past and present.
By the way my
name at school was Viguen Ken. Now I
am Vigue Ken Alchian. My wife's name
is Roubina (the same as my older
sister's name). She is also from
Abadan. Her maiden name was
Aghajanian (Razmik's sister).
|
|
|
Dear Abadani
friends
My name is
Viguen Alchian. While attending Adab,
I used to be known by my last name
of Ken.I graduated from the Adab
High School in 1972.
I have been
trying unsuccessfully to locate the
family members of our late friend
Raffi Sarkissian who passed away in
1978. His only sister's name is
Rosanna (I think). One of Raffi's
brothers is called Herach and the
other I think is called Vache. Their
fathers name was Manuel.
Unfortunately I do not remember
their mother's name.
The family
moved to USA in 1978, and that is
when I lost contact. If anyone knows
where Raffi's siblings are,
would they please let me know.
my contact
details are:
kenalchian@hotmail.com, or robertalchian@bigpond.com

Dear Abadan
Congratulations, it is a very good
informative site. However, I like
to know more about history of Adab
Armenian School, Armenian church
and history of Armenian communities
in Abadan or Khuzestan. Please
let me know if there are any kind of
publications or sites.
By the way , I
suggest include your organization
information on Facebook, which is a
very popular site for communication
these days. Please check Facebook
Iranian Armenian Groups Center,
which has over 20 links for Iranian
Armenian groups on Facebook,
Thank you for
your cooperation in advance.

My
name is Telma and I am sure you know
my brother Vazrick Yedgarian, infact
I have a couple of pictures of you
two together! I
was browsing the net hoping to come
across some articles or information
about Abadan, and I found yours.
I am so delighted and thankful that
you have kept Abadan memories
alive. I have so many old school
photos of my brothers and myself...
but that's another story. What I
would really like to know, is if you
are in Iran? Anyway, I can go
on for longer, but I will wait for a
reply.
Very
kind regards, Telma

How are you? and your family? Well
I hope.
Armen and I
were in Sydney, Australia last week
and I managed to find our old friend
Rima Hacopian
(Khoramshahri Riman) over there. We
got together one evening, had a
wonderful time and took a couple of
pics, which I am attaching. I was
thinking it might be interesting to
some of our friends who visit
abadanadab.com to see Rime's
picture, so if you agree, go ahead
and put them on there. Please let
me know if you do. Thanks.

Lydik jan,

send you a copy but until then I
hope you will be able to read the
scanned copy.
In the picture

the date) which was taken on the day
of Marlen Bayandorian's goodby party
are (in case it will not come out
clear or you might forgotten the
names)
The date of
the second picture should read
2007.
Please forward
the attached to all those Abadanis
whom you think will be interested.
Thanks
I love you so
much and will talk to you later.
lots of kisses.

I just
happened to Google an old buddy of
mine yesterday - Sako Badalian - and
came across the Abadan website.
I just want to let you know that
you have done a great job and it
brought back old memories. I do keep
in touch with my Armenian friends in
U.S. and other countries,
unfortunately, there are about 4
Armenian families in Tulsa and mine
is the only one from Iran.
The last time
I was in Abadan was August of 1976
when I went back to Iran for 3 weeks
after graduation. Thanks to you all
I was able to connect with Sako.
Well, thanks again. Hopefully, next
time that I am in L.A. may coincide
with one of your gatherings and I'll
get to visit some old friends.

It was great to see you and our
friends after so many years. I
really enjoyed the khash and
everything on Sunday. It brought
back alot of memories, and I would
like to keep in touch with you.
Thank you for the photo CDs. We
have been looking through them. I
happened to have Rubik Eskandarian's
high school photo. With the magic of
my wife's talent, she was able to
create a past and present photo of
Rubik. (see attached)
P. S. I was thinking that it would
be great if we got together with our
wives.
