The Armenian Giant

Just five feet tall, this powerhouse of mid 20th century Armenians lived in France and England during and after the Second World War. Eventually, he moved to Watertown, MA. There, he became a pastry cook, matchmaker and role model for young Armenians caught in the ethnic crush of 1970's Watertown. I scanned this old trading card from a British Giant Parma Violets giveaway.
