Does PROJO'S Mark Patinkin recall Emo Hovannesian column from 1998 ?




 [  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                I recovered this unpublished  note I sent to the Providence Journal way back in 1998 .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 ?
