Mooradian, Col. (ret.), Moorad Ph.D., passed from this life on September 30, 2009 in Richmond, Va. He was born in Rhode Island, graduated from Central High School, Rhode Island College and University of Rhode Island, and received his Ph.D. from George Mason University in Virginia. He was a four-time Fulbright Scholar to Armenia, and established the first Conflict Center in the former Soviet Union states at Yerevan State University. He was a highly decorated 30-year Army veteran who served his country in Vietnam, a consummate teacher, an accomplished reporter and author, sought-after speaker and champion for Armenian causes both in America and Armenia. He was a long-term Executive Board Director for the Armenia Tree Project. Moorad leaves his wife, Lillian; their four children, sons, Paul, Martin and Gregory Mooradian; a daughter, Natalie Hogan; their spouses, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He also leaves two sisters, Anahith Boyajian and Beatrice Petricone; and an extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews. He will be sorely missed by all his loving family and friends.
