This is very interesting, as I have lived in the house that Noemie Kapamadjan has constructed, not in Vitry-sur-Seine but in
CHOISY LE ROI 1bis rue Rouget de Lisle - F.94600 CHOISY LE ROI - The house has been renovated since then, I don't know if it belongs
still to AGBU (in French UGAB) Among the lodgers, there is a famous artist, who has made the statue of Komitas Vartabed, in Paris,
Place du Canada, where all the Armenians find themselves every year on April 24th. He has also made the statue of William Saroyan in Erevan. In Choisy-le- Roi he has made several statues ("La colombe de la Paix" and may be others that I don't know ) He is called
David Yerevantsi, but that not his name. I'll try to find his name and let you know.
As to Noemie Kapamadjian, I did not find more information than yours.

Sorry Louise , I did make a mistake , it is Choisy-le-Roi.
Address: 1 bis rue Rouget de Lisle. 94600

I suppose she had choosen Choisy-le-Roi, because behind the house there was a very great "garden" with very old trees, and in the
middle of the garden there was a flower bed with roses,and all around there was grass, we used to play there. Our mothers could see us
playing. We did not feel to be in a town.
