| Greater Boston oriental rug dealer and author of books on oriental rugs, was considered to be the world's principal collector of rare, inscribed Armenian rugs.However he marked it as November 15, 1909.He was born in Rahvah, on the western shore of Lake Urmia, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran, of Armenian parents, and died on January 14, 2003, in Concord, Massachusetts.Early life
In 1919, Arthur T.Gregorian and his family fled the Armenian Genocide by oxcart on a thousand mile journey with hundreds of thousands of Armenian refugees from his ancient Armenian homeland near Lake Urmia, over the Zagros Mountains in southwestern Iran, down to Basra, Iraq.After traveling by steerage to India, Italy and France, he finally reached Boston and settled in New Britain, Connecticut.In high school, Arthur met Phebe Ballou, his future wife.Wellesley, Massachusetts, partly to open his own Oriental rug store there and partly to see Phebe who was attending Wellesley College.The store was tiny and below street level, so he visited his potential buyers in their homes or businesses.He and Phebe were married in 1936.The business flourished and in 1940, Arthur was able to move east across the Charles River to larger quarters on Washington Street in Newton Lower Falls.Gregorian married Phebe Ballou, born April 14, 1912.Phebe was regional president of the Girl Scouts and found Director of the United Nation's Asian Women's Institute.Phebe died November 19, 1999.Petersburg, Florida, interlude
Arthur and Phebe Gregorian retired to St.Pete and later exhibited rugs from his collection at local art museums.The Gregorians returned to Massachusetts in 1999.He was a founding member of The Academy of Senior Professionals at Eckerd College.He used these films in his lectures as he narrated about carpets, Rug making or the Balouch or Qashqai nomadic tribes he had just purchased rugs from, lacing his visuals with tart comments that kept his audiences amused and informed.His book on Armenian oriental rugs came out of realization that many rugs labeled as Turkish or Kazak or something else were in fact Armenian in origin.He was extremely proud of his Armenian heritage and spent the last decades of his life collecting and documenting the particular aspects of Armenian oriental rug weaving.He was president of the Newton Rotary Club, as well as a long time active member of the Kabul, Afghanistan Rotary Club.In 1953, as President of Morgan Memorial and President of Goodwill Industries, he called his friend and fellow Armenian, Stephen P.The container was a dumpster painted blue with a rectangular hole cut in the side for shoppers to deposit their extra clothing for the needy.Hampshire, Joyce Gregorian, with photos by Douglas A.External links

was instituted in a papal bull by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.The reason for the calendar change was to correct for drift in the
dates of signifigant religious observations (primarily Easter) and to prevent
further drift in the dates.Despite a frequently repeated factoid these days,
there is no special treatment of years which are divisible by 4000.The main aspect that gets any attention these days is the leap year rule.The change in the number frequency of leap years (by dropping 3 every 400 years)
slightly changes the average year length to something closer to reality.In the Protestant countries,
where papal authority was neither recognized not appreciated,
adoption came more slowly.England finally adopted the new calendar in 1752,
with eleven days removed from September.The Gregorian year length gives an error of one day in approximately
3,225 years.Are you The Gregorians?Add this track to your playlist
