" Emo " in Patinkin column

  When I encountered him last night in the Providence Public Library,

my old friend " Emo "  Hovannesian told me that he would be the subject

of a Mark Patinkin column in today's paper. I just read Mark's column.

I can assure Providence Journal readers that he did not " fabricate "

the one and only neighborhood philosopher, rescuer of cats, lost soul

eccentric, heir to an imagined Czarist Russia fortune- " Emo " Hovannesian !

    I hope the column will help people to see in " Emo " what I have

always seen - the " saint without God ".

    Have a nice day - ron
