Peter and Susie Toumanoff, full-time Hancock residents who recently returned from several months in Armenia, will talk about the personal and professional challenges and opportunities that the country of Armenia faces on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Hancock Town Library.
In their talk, titled “They Breathe Life into Stones,” the Toumanoffs will describe the economic and geopolitical challenges in Armenia and the South Caucasus as well as their experiences living there for four months this year through the Fulbright Senior Scholar program. In addition, they will discuss their continued search for details about Irakly and Sophia Toumanoff’s experiences in the region during the Russian Revolution and Civil War.
Peter Toumanoff is a retired economics professor from Marquette University. He is deeply interested in all things Russian – language, literature, history, food, and especially people.
The program is free. For more information call 525-4411.
