vanessa kachadurian-Cher in Armenia

Although this photo is over 15 years old, one of my associates in Armenia sent it to me.  It was a humanitarian trip that Cherilyn Sarkisian aka Cher had made to Armenia.   Cher particularly takes on the children’s issues and is very involved with the Cranofacial foundation of America.    

Grandma Sarkisian lived behind Grandma Kachadurian’s house in Armenian Town (Fresno)  I remember her when I was young.  She was a tall large woman that often boasted about her granddaughter’s talent and beauty.  My grandmother remembered Cherilyn when she was a young girl and brushing her hair – in the Armenian fashion the whole community douting over our children.  Cher was moved around alot as a child, she did attend high school in Fresno for a time (Roosevelt High School).
