Phil Tintle once again treated his students to a visit from Sam
Azadian to tell the personal story of the 1915 Armenian Genocide. Now
in his 80's, Azadian has been a regular visitor to Tintle's Issues
of Conscience class at Vernon Township High School for several years
and makes history come to life. Co-founder and chairman of the Times
Square Armenian Genocide Commemoration, Azadian grew up with a father,
mother and sister who escaped and survived the 20th century's first
genocide. Azadian was invited by Tintle to speak to his class, which
covers the topic of genocide throughout history. As a result of his
commitment to his family history and Armenia, Mr. Azadian has been
named Man-of-the-Year by both the Knights of Vartan and the Armenian
General Athletic Union.
