The One Hundred Year Journey
(From the Orphan to the Poet)
Most people are familiar with the Armenian Genocide that occurred at the beginning of the 20th Century where millions of Armenians were deported from their homes and massacred across Turkey. My Armenian forefathers lived in Turkey during this time in the cities of Marash and Aintab.

“For the past decade, Chuck’s dedication to SOAR’s orphaned population is unparalleled, as evidenced by his earmarking to SOAR all profits from this book. What makes Chuck so captivating is knowing that something new is always around the corner. A dentist by training, Chuck enjoys stand-up comedy and putting his experiences and feelings to paper. The 41 pieces in, “Tall Short Stories from the Comedic Mind of Garbo,” offers a wonderful flavor of Armenian optimism. Witty, poignant, encouraging, and insightful, Chuck’s stories give you a glimpse into how Armenians perceive the world, how humor offers a measure of peace in our daily lives, and how easy life can be if relationships were grounded in altruism, trust, and mutual respect.”
