I wanted to share some photos I scanned on one of my visits with Gloria Perch Attoian almost a year ago. This first picture we believe is Susie Keshishian Zaillian, aka "Susie-Mama". Can anyone else verify that information? I wonder where and when this photo was taken. Maybe in Turkey, or upon her arrival in the U.S.? Notice she has some reading material in hand, and a watch (?) pinned to her dress. Does anyone know Susie's Armenian first name?

We think this picture is of Hosanna Tutunjian Zaillian's mother, based of some group photos that Gloria had of Hosanna's family. Gloria had thought this was the picture of Susie-Mama. Isn't it interesting that she is posed writing on a tablet? Maybe she was a teacher?
