Betty Apigian-Kessel

Betty (Serpouhie) Apigian Kessel was born in Pontiac, Mich. Together with her husband, Robert Kessel, she was the proprietor of Woodward Market in Pontiac and has two sons, Bradley and Brant Kessel. She belonged to the St. Sarkis Ladies Guild for 12 years, serving as secretary for many of those years. During the aftermath of the earthquake in Armenia in 1988, the Detroit community selected her to be the English-language secretary and she happily dedicated her efforts to help the earthquake victims. She has a column in the Armenian Weekly entitled “Michigan High Beat.”

  1. The difference between running and our Armenian soulful  dances
     
    Congratulations for our genes
    For Srepouhi and all her group
    Who… she trained them with all her soul
    To proceed further
    With their heartfull dances—
    Where there is passion
    Where there is touchless but real embrace
    And togetherness.

    The new generations continue their street exercise
    Exhaust their legs to produce endorphin.
    Sorry to say…Running without faith
    Seeking to abolish loneliness
    Where they breathe endless polluted air…
     
    Dancing is a social game…body exercise
    Where every one shakes
    To create with friends a daily new life
    With gifted mind and heart

    Also make watchers happy
    Even if they are handicap…old…paralyzed
    and others who can never dance!
    Let us encourage our dances and
    Teach our cohorts from birth till sigh…
    Sylva
