100 mile wilderness

- -

-In the summer of 2010, the summer between Blaise's Junior and Senior year at Bates, Blaise attempted to hike the 100 mile wilderness. -Blaise's companions were Mike Dorfman (Blaise's summer roomate at Bates) and Mike's cousin. -

- -

-We drove up and slept the night before in a hikers hostel. -They dropped us off on the side of the road, and we began hiking. -It was amazing that, as we walked away from the pavement, the sounds of cars and civilization quieted down to absolutely nothing. -It was so exciting to think that we would not cross pavement again for the next 100 miles. -

- - -The dropoff point.
-
- - -The first sign indicating the entrance to the 100 mile wilderness.
- -

-The wilderness was verdant and dense. -We hiked through thick forest. -

- - - -

-We submitted many small mountains, with rocky tops, lichen, and good views. -Sometimes a single days hike would involve climbing and descending multiple peaks. -

- - - - - - - -

-Often-times, the decent from each mountain was the hardest part. -We were forced to proceed slowly. -

- - - -

-We also crossed rivers, streams, and swamps. -Most of the time there were no bridges. -

- - - - - - - - - -

-Unfortunately, about half way through the hike, Blaise badly hurt his left knee while bending down to go under a fallen tree. -We needed to evacuate ASAP. -Mike and his cousin helped Blaise limp to the nearest logging road, and we hitch-hiked out of the wilderness in the back of logging trucks. -The first loggers to pick us up had very few teeth, and were very hard to understand due to their thick accents. -

- -

-After recovering in the hostel for one night, Blaise had nowhere to go. -Bates was closed, and Blaise's parents were not to arrive for a while yet. -So Mike dropped Blaise off at a nearby national forest where Blaise camped for several days until his parents arrived. -

Winter Solstice Greetings - 2014

- -

-Hello to all my friends and family. -I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these winter months. -

- -

-For a long time I've wanted to start a tradition of sending out yearly letters. -In this, the 25th year of my life, I've finally gotten around to doing it. -I'm inspired by my mother, who has been sending out letters since the 80s. -It's a wonderful way to keep in contact, and it serves as a great personal record. -It may seem anachronistic now that we have email and social media, but keeping it a physical letter just feels good. -Please let me know if your address changes (email is probably best) so I can send you letters in future years. -

- -

-I'm now a fourth year Analytical Chemistry graduate student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. -I do research in the lab of John Wright. -We do ultrafast, multidimensional spectroscopy of solar materials. -I'm involved in many projects, but mainly I'm working on BiVO4 and PbSe quantum dots. -I'll continue this research for another one to two years. -After that? I'm not too sure yet. -Grad school has been very fun for me, I really enjoy working in this field and the people that I interact with are all fantastic. -John in particular is a great mentor personally and scientifically. -

- -

-As a vacation this year mom and I went out to California by car, primarily to visit bay area relatives. -It was an all-around stellar experience. -Driving from Wisconsin to California takes a long time, but the geography is stunningly beautiful. -Highlights included clouds in Nebraska, Big Trees, Yosemite, and the Bonneville salt flats. -The bay area itself was also beautiful, of course. -It's crazy to realize that I haven't been out to see that side of the family since Grandma Betty's funeral in 2005. -Will have to make a concerted effort to go out west more often. -Perhaps I'll have to swallow my pride and get on a plane. -

- -
- -
- -

-Our family cat, Untzag, died unexpectedly in October of this year. -She was run over by a car. -Vehrzheen, the family dog, is geriatric and probably not long for this world. -2015 will probably be the first year in my life without a family dog or cat. -Ridgeback, my turtle, is still going strong. -

- -

-Madison continues to be a great city for me. -I take advantage of it less then I should. -I'm going out to eat and grab drinks more in recent months. -The folk community here is very active, and I was able to dance weekly for most of the year. -I've been taking a break from contradance over the last several months, but plan to dance again come January. -I was able to see Yelle and Of Montreal in the same month this fall. -Both were absolutely fantastic live. -

- -

-Have a great new year. -

Winter Solstice Greetings - 2016

- -

-Hello to all my friends and family. -I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these winter months. -It's snowing hard outside as I write this letter to you. -

- -

-I'm now in the middle of my 6th year of graduate school. -I'm still enjoying my time in the Wright group---I hope to be here for a while yet. -The past year of graduate school has been frustrating in some ways. -Lots of progress has been made, but I haven't reached the key checkpoints that I hoped to reach. -I'm looking forward to being a teaching assistant for a graduate-level electronics and instrumentation course next semester. -

- -

-This summer was busy for me. -In mid May three college friends (Kate, Nina, and Claire) joined me here in the Midwest. -We spent a few days exploring Chicago---river tour, museums, food, even a local contradance. -Pictured below is us outside of Shedd Aquarium. -We then drove to Madison and spent a few days in Wisconsin. -Exploring the House on the Rock with Benji was a highlight of the trip for me. -

- -
- -
- -

-I was honored to stand as a member of Claire's wedding party on June 24th. -The wedding took place near Claire's parents in beautiful Napa Valley, California. -It was a great wedding and I really enjoyed catching up with the Parker, Eckert and Till families. -It was also great to briefly see the Nielsens---Jim and Tracey were kind enough to loan me a car during my time in California. -

- -

-After returning home from California I had just 24 hours before flying to Amsterdam for an academic conference. -Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy (CMDS) is a small biennial conference in my narrow subfield. -My advisor---John C. Wright---was a founding member of the conference and still sits as chair of the organizing committee. -This year the conference was held in beautiful historic Groningen, the Netherlands. -The first molecular photon echo was resolved in Groningen (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.674). -At the conference I presented a poster on my work to make CMDS instrumentation more reproducible and robust. -Afterwards I spent five days exploring Europe, traveling to Brussels and Amsterdam. -Pictured below is me in the famous Grote Markt. -I didn't really plan anything about my trip, just stepped out of the hotel and started walking. -Everywhere I went was filled with great food, people, and artwork. Very enjoyable---but I was ready to return to Wisconsin after five days. -

- -
- -
- -

-This year I've enjoyed learning more about philosophy, rationality, and psychology. -Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking, Fast and Slow has changed the way I think about human cognition. -I'm trying to incorporate these ideas more into my personal behavior. -

- -

-Have a fantastic 2017. Stay in touch. -

Winter Solstice Greetings - 2017

- -

-Hello to all my friends and family. -I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these winter months. -As I write this letter, the ice fishing season has begun in Madison. -Brave individuals have taken to the lake near my apartment to test their luck. -

- -

-I'm now in the middle of my 7th year of graduate school. -Time flies, and I'm begrudgingly trying to wrap up this phase of my life. -Not sure what comes next. -

- -

-My good friend Tyler graduated this spring. -I am happy to see him move on to better things, but sad that we are no longer living in the same place. -Perhaps life will bring us together again at a later date. -In celebration, Tyler and I took a short vacation together. -We camped at beautiful Wyalusing State Park---Tyler's first camping experience! -The midwestern summer rains caught us, but we had fun despite the weather. -We also visited House on the Rock and New Glarus Brewery. -

- -

-On August 21st of this year a total solar eclipse crossed much of the Continental US. -My parents and I took this as an opportunity for family vacation. -We visited the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, at the intersection of Kentucky and Tennessee. -After a bit of stress, we ended up finding a nice waterside campsite (below). -The very large lakes were too large for our small Alumacraft, so we did not get much fishing done. -I did get lots of reading done, and the time spent away was nice. -The eclipse itself was pretty magical. -The family (including Karaby) put on our swimsuits and waded into the lake to watch. -

- -
- -
- -

-In early October I traveled to beautiful Arcata to visit my good friend Claire and her husband, Ralph. -Claire and Ralph have a wonderful home on a gravel road nestled among impossibly tall redwood trees. -I enjoyed exploring Arcata and the nearby town of Eureka. -Humboldt State, where Claire works, has interesting California architecture---one of Claire's colleagues has an office with only outdoor entrance! -The local Ma-Le'l dunes (below) were interesting---very windy with alien landscape and flora. -Making pasties and horchata, and enjoying Claire's famous pie, were the highlights of the trip for me. -

Winter Solstice Greetings - 2018

- -

-Hello to all my friends and family. -I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these winter months. -It's fairly warm here in Madison, but the bay near my apartment has already frozen over. -The last two weekends have been popular with ice fishers and skaters. -As finals week progresses the town slowly empties. -

- -

-This has been an important year for me professionally. -On April 23rd I successfully defended my dissertation, earning my doctorate in analytical chemistry. -See below a picture of me and my PhD adviser John Wright. -I am very lucky to have worked under John for seven short years. -John taught me a lot about being an independent thinker and communicator. -I was blessed to have my parents and good friend Tyler attend my graduation. -I "walked" with two other Wright Group friends---Kyle Czech and Jonathan Handali. -The ceremony that I attended (just for masters and doctorates) was huge---I'm still amazed at UW-Madison's size. -

- -
- -
- -

-Of course, the high of graduation is typically followed by the panic of trying to find a job. -On July 23rd I began working as an instrumentation technologist for the chemistry department. -This is a research support role where I work on solving technical challenges facing researchers throughout the department. -I am the supervisor of a "makerspace" where students and researchers can come work on instrument construction and repair. -We have specialized equipment and a large inventory of parts for purchase. -I take on a large variety of different jobs---everything from fixing humble hotplates and glassware drying ovens to designing custom oscillators for mass spectrometry. -The people that I work with on a daily basis are driven and kind---they have done a lot to help me overcome my lack of formal training in electrical engineering. -For me right now, this is a dream job. -

- -

-I've had several opportunities to travel this year. -A few weeks after graduation my friend Tyler was gracious enough to invite me to his home in New York for a 1.5 week vacation. -Highlights included eating at Di Fara Pizza, exploring Coney Island, and seeing The SpongeBob Musical on Broadway. -It was so fun to visit Tyler and see how far he has come since his own graduation. -I was also glad to visit my friend Felix at Yale during the same trip. -

- -

-In July I spent nine days in Iowa City with my parents. -After so long, I enjoyed spending such a long time at "home". -The barn construction project is going along beautifully, and I was able to help with some humble drywall work. -

- -

-Over the thanksgiving break I traveled to the west coast. -I flew into Las Vegas, where my parents picked me up for a quick 24-hour Death Valley experience. -We woke up early to watch the sunrise from Dante's View. -I hope to return to Death Valley for a longer trip some day. -Here I am standing on the floor of Badwater Basin---282 feet below sea level. -After leaving, we picked up Karaby and drove straight to Roseville, where we had thanksgiving dinner with the Trumbly & Decker Family. -It's so nice to connect with extended family after many years. -

- -
- -
- -

-Wishing you and yours a happy new year. Stay in touch! -

Traveling Erzincan to Cappadocia

- -

-The drive from Erzincan to Cappadocia was pleasant. -There were many little bridges over the road to allow water to cross without washing out the road itself. -The travelers saw animals, including a herd of sheep that crossed the road forcing a small delay. -Each town seemed centered around a mosque with tall minarets. -

- -

-Along the way, the travelers saw an excelent view of Mount Ericyes from the Kayseri side. -When the view is clear, it is obvious that the mountain is a volcano that has erupted before. -

- - -A view of of Mount Ericyes from the Kayseri side. -

Lunch at Sivas

- -

-Nancy, Jim, and Blaise stopped at the city of Sivas for lunch. -This was the birthplace of St. Blaise. -Sivas is a large city with a complex network of busy roads. -There are no parking meters, but individual workers make it their business to take a fee from each car that parks for more than one hour. -

- - -Blaise poses in front of a hotel in central Sivas. -Sivas was the birthplace of St. Blaise, Blaise's namesake. -
- -

Cappadocia overview

- -

-Pronounced "cap a dough sha". -

- -

-Cappadocia, a semi-arid region in central Turkey, is known for its distinctive “fairy chimneys,” tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley, Göreme and elsewhere. -Other notables sites include Bronze Age homes carved into valley walls by troglodytes (cave dwellers) and later used as refuges by early Christians. -The 100m-deep Ihlara Canyon houses numerous rock-face churches. -

- -

-Although the travelers have no relatives in this area, they decided to visit Cappadocia anyway to take in the amazing geology. -It was well worth the visit. -

- -

night in Goreme

- -

-The travelers arrived in Cappadocia late afternoon, just before sunset. -They stayed in the town of Goreme, at the center of the Cappadocia region. -Goreme is a rock city with many buildings built into the rock walls and pillars -

- - -An example hotel in Goreme. -
- -

-Initially there was some confusion about which hotel was correct, as there are many hotels whose names contain some combination of "cave" and "suite". -The travelers stayed in the Ottoman Cave Suite hotels, which was right at the center of Goreme and afforded wonderful views of the surrounding town during sunset. -They had a honeymoon suite on the top floor, with a personal hot tub and a wonderful view of the surrounding city. -The travelers watched the sun set from the roof of their hotel. -

- - -View from inside the hotel room. -
-
- - -Sun setting over gorome, as viewed from the hotel roof. -

- - -Painting within cross church, next to StarBox. -
- -

-The travelers ultimately exited the valleys in a nearby town, and were able to catch a taxi back to their hotel. -

-As a last activity, the travelers visited the local castle. -They ate lunch near the top. -The view was amazing, even though it was raining that day. -Nancy and Blaise paid 9 TL each to go to the top of the castle. -It was a fairly tourist-centered area, but not many visitors were there. -Their were camel rides available. -

Erzincan & Kemah

- -Part of the Armenian heritage trip memory. - -
- -

note: historical vs modern Erzincan

- -

-Erzindjan is now north of the location as of 1907. -When Azniv was born, Erzindjan and the surrounding area was part of Armenia. -It was made part of Turkey in 1920 after the conclusion of WW1. -Besides the genocide, Erzindjan is earthquake prone. -In 1254 William Rubruck said more than 10,000 people were killed by an earthquake. -In 1939 there was another earthquake which led to the death of 32,962. -The old site was entirely abandoned and the town was relocated to the north. -

- -

note: family connection with Erzindjan

- -

-The following photo was taken​ in 1906,​ four years after Stepan and his family arrived in the US. -Standing from left to right in the back row are: Azniv/Agnes Torosian (born Shakargian, who is Nancy and Jim’s maternal grandmother)​, her brother Arshag and his wife, Nartouhi Pojojian (alternates Nartoo, Pazozian, Posozian). -The adults sitting from left to right in the front row are Nancy and Jim’s great-grandmother, Lucien Shakargian (born Donegian), and great-grandfather, Stepan Shakargian. -The family believes two of the children are Arshag's children but the third child may be one of the sister's, Eva Kapigian (born Shakargian) children. -The travelers think Azniv was born in Erzindjan proper rather than adjacent villages because: 1) they used the Turkish bath house which was a Roman ruin, 2) they had a shop where folks bought things- perhaps sugar, candy, coffee, 3) Azniv went to a school and the city had a school for girls (Chrisdinian). -

arrival

- -

-The travelers took a 1.5 hour flight from Istanbul to Erzincan, arriving around 15:00. -Erzincan is a medium sized city, with an official population roughly 37,000. -The true population is twice that, with many of the undocumented being Roma. -The airport is quite modern and nice, funded extensively by Russians. -

- - -Erzincan airport.
- -

-The city of Erzincan has been almost entirely rebuilt since the 1939 earthquake. -Unlike other cities visited by the travelers, the roads are clearly planned and the buildings seem quite modern. -

- -

-The travelers stayed at Hayat Home Suite in the center of town. -The hotel was quite nice, more like an apartment than a typical hotel room. -There were two small bedrooms, a bathroom including washing machine, kitchen complete with stove, and a very large living and dining room. -Jim and Nancy took the bedrooms, while Blaise slept on the living room couch. -Total cost of hotel was 480 TL for two nights. -

dinner

- -

-The travelers met their guide (Ahmet Cetin) and his driver. -The driver spoke only Turkish and was not very communicative for the entire trip. -All five enjoyed dinner at a local restaurant. -Credit cards were a problem, but the travelers were able to withdraw cash from nearby ATMs. -After dinner, all five visited a local bar to plan the trip. -At the bar, Nancy enjoyed drinking special Erzincan carbonated lemon drink (Kizilay). -

- -

Tevhit Karakaya

- -

-On the flight from Istanbul to Erzincan Nancy was placed in first class for some reason. -Nancy sat next to a local politician and business man Tevhit Karakaya. -Tehvit was interested in Nancy's historic photos of Erzincan. -Tevhit did not speak English, but a friend of his translated on the plane. -

- -

-Tevhit invited the travelers to stop by his hotel to obtain a book of historic Erzincan photos which he himself had compiled. -Once Ahmed heard of the Nancy's interactions with Tevhit, Ahmet called Tevhit and all were invited to meet Tevhit at his hotel. -

- -

-While at the hotel, Tevhit and his associates asked Nancy and Jim for more information regarding their Erzincan relatives. -All enjoyed tea and special Erzincan grapes. -The travelers needed to be instructed to eat the grape seeds, and indeed the seeds were easy to eat and even seemed to enhance the grape texture. -The grapes were very sweet and the seeds were not at all bitter. -

breakfast

- -

-At around 09:00, the travelers met with Ahmet and started their day with breakfast at a local restaurant, Siber Bilişim Sistemleri. -It was a typical middle eastern breakfast with a large variety of options. -The travelers enjoyed trying rose petal jam, similar to that made by Azniv Torosian and remembered as part of Nancy and Jim's childhood. -

- - -Jim and Nancy enjoy breakfast.
- -

old Erzincan

- -

-Nancy and Jim's Grandmother (Azniv Torosian, nee Shakargian) was born in old Erzincan. -She left in 1902 with her parents, one brother, and the brother's wife and children. -An additional sister stayed behind as she was already married. -Azniv was roughly 16 years old at the time. -The travelers attempted to visit the place where Azniv and her family had lived. -

- -

-Nancy's notes contained a picture of old Erzincan (1907) behind which a particular view of the mountain range could be seen. -This was Mount Kazen Kaya. -It was also known that old Erzincan was next to the Euphrates river. -Since the earthquake and rebuilding, there are almost no remaining structures or clues about the position of old Erzincan. -Still, the travelers were able to find the mountain view as seen in the old pictures, and also where the Euphrates currently flows. -

drive to Kemah

- -

-The travelers headed to Kemah, which is about 40 miles from Erzincan by car. -Along the way many military instillations were seen. -The car passed through a check point, which our guide was able to talk his way through without difficulty. -The Turkish government has military in this region due to fears of Kurdish and Syrian terrorist attacks from the south. -

- -

-Along the drive, the travelers stopped at Kemah gorge, which is now used as a point of recreation (base jumping, climbing etc.) -There is a turkish monument at this place which memorializes a truckload of soldiers that died here in a car accident on the bridge. -This was undoubtedly one of the many places between Erzincan and Kemah where 25,000 Armenians were thrown into the Euphrates river (1915). -This gorge is 13 km from the town of Kemah. -

- - -Kemah gorge. -[39.653N, 39.360E]
- -

Kemah

- -

-Nancy and Jim's Great Grandmother, Azniv's mother, Lucien Donegian is believed by the travelers to have grown up in the Kemah area. -Azniv's father, Stephan Shekargian, was living in Erzincan and traveled two days by horse to marry Lucien. -Azniv described trips to visit Lucien's family, where wonderful stones sparkled in the sun. -It's likely true that Lucien was from one of the several Kemah-associated villages. -

- -

-Arriving in Kemah, the travelers found the location of another photograph from Nancy's notes: the Kemah Fort. -They were able to find the exact point where the photograph was taken. -

- - - - -Nancy and Jim pose in front of Kemah Fort. -[39.603N, 39.0372E]
- -

-The Fort was built into a mountain which gives a good view of modern Kemah. -There were also caves that had been fortified, and an ongoing archaeological excavation. -

- -

-Beside Kemah, on the other side of the Euphrates river, is a large ridge which is currently occupied by a Turkish millitary outpost. -The travelers believe that this is the famous ridge from which 25,000 Armenians were thrown to their death between June 10 through 14, 1915. -Oral history describes the Euphrates filled with bodies and red with blood. -Before that time, many Armenians lived peacefully in this area. -In 2019 the city of Kemah contains just 2000 people, all Turkish. -

- - -Kemah ridge as seen from Kemah Fort. [39.604N, 39.036E]
- -

-After visiting Kemah Fort, the travelers spent some time in the Kemah city center. -Once Ahmet suggested tea, it was remarkable how quickly the young friend was able to procure it. -Kemah seems like a nice city, with local cats, dogs, and chickens. -The town is clean and bustling with activity. -

- -

lunch

- -

-The travelers had lunch at a rustic outdoor restaurant called Kemah Alabalık Tesisleri. -Specialty was trout, and delicious Shepherd's Salad. -The lunch featured special salt mined near Kemah. -There was a pomegranate sauce that was excellent on the salad: nar ekşisi kalori. -

- - -Travelers enjoying lunch. [39.614N, 39.038E]
- -

Kemeryaka

- -

-The travelers were interested in trying to find the exact village where Lucien Donegian grew up. -In pursuit of this, Ahmet took them to the local village of Kemeryaka. -There they found many village men doing construction working together to build a new brick house in the center of town. -All shared tea and great conversation as translated by Ahmet. -In conversation, they recommended that the travelers visit Morik. -The crucial piece of information in recommending Morik was Nancy's remembering that Azniv had said the place where her mother grew up had a storage area where many (including Kurds) stored their freshly caught meat. -

- - -Travelers meet with men of Kemeryaka. [39.550N, 39.068E]
- -

stone khachkar

- -

-It seems that local Turkish people believe that Armenians were some kind of treasure keepers, rich magical people of old. -The people of Kemeryaka seem excited to show the travelers some local "mythical" signs of historic Armenian presence. -One of the village elders jokes that when the travelers find the Armenian treasure they can split it "50/50". -There are interesting parallels between stereotypes about Armenians and those about Jews. -

- -

-Joined by several teenage boys from Kemeryaka, the travelers drove to a place where khachkars (crosses) had been carved into the stone by previous Armenian dwellers. -The valley that they visited was truly beautiful, and it was powerful to see sure signs of Armenian presence. -One of the two khachkars had recently been destroyed by other treasure seekers. -The travelers theorize that these khachkars were used as road markers for an old mountain pass. -

Morik

- -

-As mentioned earlier, one unique feature of Lucien's village was their unique storage facilities for meat and cheese. -These facilities were used by many local villages and nomadic Kurds as they were quite valuable. -When the travelers mentioned this to the men of Kemeryaka, those men instantly agreed that the village in question was likely Morik. -Morik's old name was Ayranpınar. -

- -

-On the way to Morik, the travelers dropped off the teenage boys from Kemeryaka and picked up an adult man Mehmet who seemed to be a local leader. -Mehmet sat on Ahmet's lap in the front seat for the trip between villages. -As the travelers arrived, the way into the village was blocked by cows. -The village director's son was moving them through the main street. -They drove to the village director's (Umit) home. -All enjoyed an active conversation sharing the reason for visiting and the history of Lucien Donegian. -

- - -Cows on the way into Morik. -[39.634N, 38.998E]

- -

-From Umit's home all rode or hiked up to the storage cave. -Amhed's car couldn't make it all the way up because the mountain became too steep. -Umit shared that the cave is special because the mountain makes ice there all year round. -Currently it is mainly used for goat cheese (tulum), which develops in the cave for six months. -There are currently 40 tons of cheese inside. -Mehmet himself was storing cheese in the cave, despite the fact that he is from a different village. -

-Since the ice cave was higher up on the mountain, there was an excellent view of Morik and surroundings. -

- -

return to Erzincan

- -

-The travelers went first to Kemeryaka to drop off Mehmet. -From Mehmet they bought a large amount of local goat cheese (tulum), totaling 630 TL. -Most of this was given to Ahmet and the driver, as there was way too much to take home. -

- -

-After all this the travelers returned to their hotel in Erzincan and slept well. -

Istanbul Overview

- -

-Istanbul is a popular place to visit with a long and important history. -The travelers wanted to experience this place and gain some understanding of what life may have been like for Yesia when he lived there. -Yesia began working in Istanbul when he was 13 and lived there until he was 17 when he immigrated to the US (1900) due to Turkish fear of Armenian revolutionaries. -

Hrant Dink Foundation

- -

-After lunch the travelers undertook to find the offices of the Hrant Dink Organization located on the Asian side of Istanbul. -They had the address but had trouble finding it. -Finally they did find it with the help of Jim’s phone GPS and a hand drawn map by a tattoo artist who worked in a shop nearby. -Once there, they were given helpful information about visiting Istanbul, Kayseri and Erzindjan. -The staff were interested in the fact that the travelers were visiting Develi in an attempt to see where the property Yesia inherited may have been. -Evidently this organization is in the process of suing the Turkish government which claims that Armenians who left Turkey before the genocide as Turkish citizens should be entitled to reparations. -They do not intend to be part of this lawsuit, but wonder if Turkish documents about Yesia might have indicated if he was a Turkish citizen when he left in 1900. -

-After spending the afternoon in this way, the travelers enjoyed a nice dinner before bed. -

Blaise travels Madison to Istanbul

- -

-Blaise left Madison mid-afternoon Wisconsin time, traveling to Istanbul to meet Nancy and Jim. -This involved a short flight Madison → Chicago, an ~11 hour flight Chicago → Istanbul, and a hour long bus ride to get downtown. -The most remarkable experience was the Turkish Airlines flight, which involved an unprecedented level of hospitality. -Every passenger was given two excellent meals, blanket, pillow, eye masks, slippers, headphones, and seemingly countless other little amenities. -It's easy to see how Turkish Airlines got its reputation. -

wrapping up with George

- -

-The afternoon before the travelers left Israel for Turkey, George shared that they should not take the original paperwork (English and Turkish) about Yesia’s inherited property to Turkey. -He offered to keep it for them until he could get it to Jim via a trusted person. -The travelers followed George’s advice and were glad they did. -Because in Turkey they had three experiences which could have placed them in a position they did not intend to be in while there. -First, when they met with the Hrant Dink staff in Istanbul, they wanted to know if Yesia had been a Turkish citizen when he left Turkey in 1900 because they had a law suit against Turkey showing that such citizens may have been entitled to property. -Second, they had an unexpected interaction with a national Turkish politician in Erzindjan and a semi-expected interaction with a local Turkish official in Develi. -Both wanted to know about possible property implications of their visit. -For all three instances they were grateful that they did not have these papers with them. -

- -

-They had a second dinner with George during which they had candid discussion of politics in Armenia, Israel and Turkey. -

traveling Kayseri to Develi

- -

-The travelers enjoyed a wonderful drive over Mt Erciyes from Kayseri to Develi. -One of the small pieces of information remembered by Nancy is that, although the family lived closer to Kayseri, they would prefer to travel to Istanbul because the way to Kayseri was made so difficult by the mountain. -Although modern roads make the way easy, it was clear to the travelers why it would be difficult to travel over Mt. Erciyes in those times. -

- -

-They met their guide (Selim Akdoğan) at the entrance of town. -Selim proved to be an amazing local guide. -His business care gives the following credentials and roles: B.Sc P.D. MBA CCol ASDC Economist, Scientist, Journalist, Historian, Politician, Senior Executive. -Selim has a clear love for natural life & enjoys exchanging views with everyone. -

the Torosian family

- -

-The traveler's ancestors had the surname Torosian. -This corresponds to the Toros Mountain Range, which passes through Develi. -The Torosians lived in an Armenian village called Fenesse next to a Turkish village Develi. -Currently, the village of Fenesse is simply a district of Develi, and no Armenians reside in the area. -The travelers searched modern Develi for evidence of the Torosian family. -

- -

-This photo of Yesia was taken between 1900 when he immigrated to the US and 1908 when he was married. -As of 1933, Yesia and his wife petitioned Turkish authorities (via the US Department of State) for compensation for the loss of family real estate and properties. -Yesia claimed that his uncle, Sarkis Effendi Yanuk Garabed Torosian, had bequeathed a home and vineyards to him which were described in detail. -The claim was denied but Jim and Nancy had the documents with the description of the properties. -

-David, Nancy, and Blaise spent some time enjoying the outdoors of Southern Wisconsin the weekend of October 16th, 2020. -

- -

-On Friday Night David and Nancy camped at Yellowstone Lake State Park near Blanchardville. -The campsite was nicely laid out with good privacy from adjacent campers, but there were some challenges. -It was very cold and their tent and sleeping bags were not good enough to keep warm. -A dog somewhere in the campsite area was barking for hours and adjacent campers made some noise. -Blaise arrived at the campsite early next morning for breakfast. -

- -
- - David, Nancy, and Karaby have breakfast at their campsite in yellowstone lake. -

- -

-They arrived at the southern end of their planned hike, had a stand up lunch and then drove to the northern end of the planned hike. -It was only a 6 mile hike but they planned to do a short piece on Saturday and the remainder on Sunday, camping at a designated camping are on the trail Saturday night. -

-Day 62 of work from home. -

- -

-I am partially furloughed from my job at UW-Madison. -Essentially this means that I am forced to take four days (32 hours) of unpaid time off between now and the end of October. -By "firing" me for this short period of time, the institution hopes to save money to compensate for decreased income. -While I'm disappointed to have reduced income, I am impressed with the equity of campus' response: all staff and faculty are being furloughed together. -Click here to read the furlough letter that I received: PDF. -

-It's Memorial Day weekend. -Last night I slept over at my friend Zach's house in Baraboo Wisconsin. -Given the Wisconsin Supreme Court order, the local restaurants are now open again with reduced capacity (Baraboo is in Sauk County, not Dane). -For the first time in weeks, I have brunch at a sit-down restaurant: Broadway Diner in downtown Baraboo. -Things are different. -They have every-other booth taped off, so customers cannot sit directly next to strangers. -There are no paper menus, only QR codes to scan with your phone and download a PDF menu. -There are no condiments, even salt and pepper, unless explicitly asked for. -Still, it feels so nice to go back to relative normalcy. -After brunch Zach and I go out to Devil's Lake for a nice long hike. -There are lots of people enjoying the nice weather, and we see many rock climbers on the bluff. -

Untzag Thompson

- -

-In Fall 2004 we saw a notice about a local family who were giving away kittens at our vet’s office. -So we drove to their rural home in West Branch and picked one out (2004-09-13). -Blaise picked out Untzag. -They also had large dogs who helped care for the kittens so she was never afraid of dogs. -On the way home, she rode free in the back seat and seemed to really want to see out the window. -Blaise gave her the name Untzag which means little tiger in Armenian. -Our list of options were: Zoulal (pure), Ardashes (joy), Zora (small), Giliga (small), Untzag (tiger), Hoky (spirt), Azadouhi (free), and Aghaton (good). -Folks always liked her name. -

- -

-Early in her life a twig got in her eye area. -Blaise discovered it and we immediately took her to the vet where it was taken care of. -Other than that, she physically fit all her life. -She could jump up onto Blaise’s sleigh bed, or onto the pile of clean towels in the bathroom open storage area. -She also like to get onto the garage roof and come into the house via the deck door. -She would sit on the East wall of the deck, which is quite narrow, with seemingly no fear of heights -

- -

-We tried to keep her in our yard so she wouldn’t bother our neighbor Dorothy and to protect her from traffic on Governor, but she could not be contained. -One reason we did not have her wear a collar is because we thought it might be dangerous to her if she got caught on a fence she was climbing on in some unknown place. -

- -

-Her first Thanksgiving we took her on a walk on the Mormon Trek trail and saw that she was a good little hiker. -She wanted to keep up with Vehrzheen. -We periodically included her on walks in the woods during which she wore a harness and leash. -

- -

-At one point we snuck her into the Mercer swim area so Blaise’s swim team members could enjoy her as a kitten. -

- -

-Sometime after Betty died Nancy inherited the sculpture by Bufano. -We took a good photo of her sitting by the cat mold. -By her posture she seemed to be telling us that she was more precious than any sculptor’s model. -

- -Untzag next to Bufano sculpture. - -Untzag next to Bufano sculpture. - -

-When she was little she used to like to hide by the day lilies in the front and jump out at by-passers. -She would also lie down on the sidewalk and let some strangers pet her on her tummy. -She felt free to enjoy the park across the street and the neighbors in 815 Brown. -She liked to be on their porch and recently she even felt free to enjoy their nice clean new cars. -If a window or door was open she felt free to go inside -

- -

-In 2006 she went to the shelter because the pound was picking up our neighbor cat (Slim) for being outside without supervision. -We think Untzag was trying to protect Slim from being taken. -There were several cats which looked like Untzag at the pound but she was the only one with a tail which had a white tip. -

- -

-At one point when Nancy was sick Untzag put her nose on Nancy's feet as she was retching over the toilet bowl. -Once when Nancy made a trip to the Mercy ER in the night for what we thought was a heart attack she was so happy to see that Untzag was waiting (about a 3 hr wait) on the steps of a home on Lucas so that we could walk home together. -Sometimes when someone was not feeling well she could just come and share body warmth and closeness. -She would also knead your body with her front legs. -

- -

-Untzag liked to keep David company at the computer by sitting on his lap. -Sometimes he played videos of birds for her on the computer. -Even though he called her a pest and tired of the fact that she brought in fleas, she knew he has a heart of gold and a nice warm lap. -

- -Untzag sitting on David's lap. - -

-She was not good about having puzzles laying around in an unfinished state. -She liked to mess up the pieces or even take them apart. -

- -

-Untzag was featured in Blaise's High School graduation photo! -

- -Blaise's graduation photo. - -

-Untzag was always very welcoming of other animals. -She played with the Vislas for whom we provided foster care. -Recently we rescued a cockatiel from the park, whom she tolerated as well. -She also always wanted to be friends with Vehrzheen even though Vehrzheen thought of her as prey. -Sometimes Nancy would give Untzag three small treats and she would eat only one or two, leaving the remainder for Vehrzheen. -Even while Vehrzheen was failing fast, Untzag spent time with her to comfort her. -Our most recent photo of Untzag was taken 2014-10-14, a day when Untzag spent many hours next to Vehrzheen on the bed. -

- -Untzag and Vehrzheen on David's bed. - -

-She did hunt birds and baby rabbits. -She did not care for rabbit eyeballs as she would lay them by the partially eaten body somewhere where we could admire her hunting success. -She also used to bring mice and chipmunks into the house to “play” with. -I think she also had some dealings with snakes. -Blaise remembers one time when Untzag left a living snake in his backpack. -

- -

-Untzag was not much for games. -However she did enjoy chasing the small item at the end of the child’s fishing pole which David thought of. -She cooked up a game of her own to play with me when Nancy was in the bathtub. -If Nancy had her comb on the edge of the tub, she would like to bat it into the tub from the outside of the tub. -Nancy's task was to replace it on the edge and move it slowly so that she could bat it down again. -Neither of us were supposed to see the other. -

- -

-Untzag travelled with us on many trips – Wisconsin, Maine, the Southern tip of LA, etc. However she did not like not being able to go outside at nights. -Once, in WI, we thought we had lost her as she had escaped from the Kozeluh’s home. -Since it was our last day of vacation, we thought we would have to leave for IA without her, and asked neighbors to watch for her. -However, just before we had to leave, we found her in the surrounding vegetation. -On some trips to WI she shopped at Foster and Smith which welcomes pet as well as human shoppers. -

- - -Untzag at bates. -Untzag at Bates. - -

-The last time that Blaise saw Untzag was a visit from Graduate School, 2014-09-08. -Untzag was kind enough to "say goodbye" as Blaise got in the car. -

- -Untzag in the driveway. - -

-2014-10-21 21:45, Untzag was struck by car on Governor. -Despite efforts by Nancy, we never got to recover her body. -

- -

-Rest in peace, Untzag. -

birth and childhood

- -

-Vehrzheen’s story began in March 1999 when dear Ani died. -We knew we wanted another dog to be company for Nancy and Dazzy. -Vehrzheen was born June 13, 1999 (litter 46262) with three brothers and two other sisters. -Her maternal grandfather had been special among English setter fans. -His name was Bozemanns Mosley- he dominated competitions in 1996. -According the “The American Field” (July 4) this dog was described as follows - moves with controlled swiftness, gait is fluid and lofty, an attractiveness that is hard to turn from, an almost iridescent whiteness. -He had the knack given to some to pop out of nowhere to show on a long frontal cast… there was none that approached his excellence, none who doubted his superiority. -He received the first Herman Smith Setter Derby Award and he won runner up on the Border International Chicken Championship. -He was listed in the Hall of Fame in 1996. -Vehrzheen’s father (I’m Chip 1488385) was the son of her mother (Doc’s Charging Cricket 1465980). -Both the father and mother were owned by the CL Peterson’s who lived in Davenport (1103 Garfield Ct) and were selling the puppies for $100.00 each. -We brought her to our home in Iowa City on Sept 4. -Vehrzheen was an attempt to give her the Armenian name for Virginia -

-2001-09-10. -Blaise broke his arm while jogging with Vehrzheen. -He reported that Vehrzheen decided to stop and say hello to some other dogs but that he did not anticipate this. -So he fell and hit his right arm such that it broke. -We spent that evening at Mercy’s ER and all stayed home the next day, which was the infamous 9/11. -

- -

-2001-12. -In December we took a trip to California to surprise Betty. -Both Dazzy and Vehrzheen went with us. -All humans and Vehrzheen observed and appreciated shooting stars in Wyoming. -Another nap was in order by the time we reached central Wyoming. -Vehrzheen had a hard time settling down because the rest stop must have had wild animals. -On 2001-12-25 during the day we took a walk during which Vehrzheen spotted a pheasant. -

Nicolet National Forest

- -

-The family hiked the a loop in the Nicolet National Forest by Eagle River in WI. -By the morning not only the tent but also the sleeping bags and some of our clothes were pretty wet. -David got a fire going and Vehrzheen was arranged on a tarp wearing one of David’s shirts. -We got into dry clothes, had a waterless breakfast and headed out at around 7:45. -How far should we hike? -Were there contingency options if it rained again or if the hike was too much for Vehrzheen? -

- - - - - -
-

death

- -

-During the final months Vehrzheen and Nancy spent quite a bit of time together. -One “hangout” was the sofa in the basement. -We would create a creature sandwich. -Sleeping bag number one, then Nancy, then Vehrzheen, then hot towels and the second sleeping bag. -Very nice for two old ladies. -The other hangout was Nancy's bed. -Nancy would hop up and then David would bring Vehrzheen. -Vehrzheen and Nancy would sleep next to each-other. -David would retrieve Vehrzheen when he was ready to retire. -

- -

-The following are our last photos of Vehrzheen. -

- - - - - - - - - -

-2015-06-26. -When Nancy came home from work on Friday June 26, David said he had made an appointment to euthanize Vehrzheen on Saturday but that he was not sure he would keep it. -We took her on a walk to deliver a cabbage dish to Miehsa’s family. -Vehrzheen went in the wagon but did walk a little at Miehsa’s. -David took a bath with her and I helped dry her and keep her warm until it was time to go to bed. -She lay on her body while we watched a movie called Iris. -

- -

-2015-06-27. -Saturday morning David semi force fed her an entire can of the special dog food we got from Bright Eyes and Bushy Tails. -However we were worried that this would trigger diarrhea and vomiting. -Stools did not look good. -For awhile Nancy put her on the wagon so that she could be in a pleasant spot outside while I did a little yard work. -She looked so peaceful. -David took her across the street for a little walk in Happy Hollow, but she was not able to walk. -Again we had to think about talk about the decision. -Finally David concluded that she was not going to get any better than the state of health she was in at that time. -So we set our faces toward Solon. -Nancy sat in the back seat to stroke her and talked to Vehrzheen. -She reminded Vehrzheen that God had a plan for her getting to heaven so we could be together again. -

- -

-Arrived at the scheduled time- 11:30. -We took Vehrzheen to the grass on the north side of Davis’ clinic and after a few steps she lay down on her side. -While we waited David sat so that his body shielded her eyes from the sun. -We asked if they could inject her outside on the lawn which they did. -The injection was made and she stopped breathing immediately. -The heart did not stop for a minute or two. -David wrapped her in one of our black towels with the name Blaise embroidered on it. -Nancy saved some of her fur which had been shaved off for the injection and her collar. -Then we took her limp body to a business which cremates the bodies of dead pets. -The cremation intake place was also in Solon. -The man seemed quite decent. -David wanted to be close to her body when it was cremated but the man said that was not allowed. -We put her body in the back of this man’s truck on top of the bodies of several other dogs. -The paperwork included having her name, which led to the explanation for it. -The ashes of her body were ready on the following Monday. -By 12:56 David and Nacny were home without any dog or cat to be part of their lives. -She was 17 years old and supported Nancy for all but 2 days of the last part of her UI career. -David spent most of the day in the barn working on a machine part and I spent much time picking up towels, bowls, pillows etc. which had been use by our dear friend Vehrzheen. -

- -

-David and Nancy took a walk in Hickory Hill shortly after our loss. -David thought that, over time, Vehzrheen may have walked in that park at least 5000 times. -We remembered that she could out run most other dogs until she was well into her adult years. -

- -

-On July 6 we scattered her ashes at Lake Towanda, about 13 years after a previous trip to this place in 2002 where we felt she enjoyed herself thoroughly. -It had been raining all day. -But after dinner it was cool but not too windy or rainy. -So the three of us got in the canoe and paddled around the lake taking Vehrzheen’s ashes with us. -We spotted a loon in one of the far corners and got quite close to it. -Vehrzheen would have so enjoyed that canoe ride. -Blaise took photographs. -We scattered some ashes in the middle of the lake but in line with the Kozeluh dock and then Blaise scattered the rest in the area to the left of the dock where he and Vehrzheen used to play with frogs. -He remembered that Goldie just like to watch them. -He liked to catch and release them but Vehrzheen liked to catch and keep them. -

- - - - - - - - -Vehrzheen's final resting place, in the reeds.

- -

-Rest in peace, Vehrzheen. -
