William son of Anania was in 4th grade in Jerusalem when a priest hands him a photo attached. On the back of the photo is writing in Armenian. William does not know how to read Armenian. Nor do I for that matter. He did not know who the photo was and took it to his father Anania. Anania got very excited upon seeing the photo and told William it was a relative and they had to find the Priest immediately. At this time there was no direct communication between Israel and Lebanon. To communicate you needed a third person in another country to assist you. Anania would have seen this as a way of contacting his relatives that he had been cut off from. I could imagine his urgency to find this Priest. William believes this photo had the word Beirut on the back of the envelope. Anania found the Priest but was disappointed as the Priest said that he got the picture from another Priest to pass on and knows nothing about the circumstances. William kept this photo and sent me the photo and the writing on the back. He wants to know who is the picture of? and what does it says.
