[ I have known the subject of Mark Patinkin's excellent column
today ( " Mo quotes Robert Frost and rescues cats " -June 23 )
- " Emo " Hovannesian - neighborhood philosopher, rescuer of stray
cats, down and out lost soul eccentric, heir to an imagined Czarist
Russia oil fortune, now pathetic victim of Mayor Cianci's " neighborhood
improvement " --since 1970. ]

I recovered this unpublished note I sent to the Providence Journal way back in 1998 . Sad to say my old Friend, " Emo " Hovannesian ,would be well be near 90 years old today. When I encountered him at the Providence Public Library he was often homeless - but stubborn about accepting offered help.
I am sure Mark Patinkin would be interested in his fate, Is he still alive ?
