I have been reading "Odyssey of an Armenian Doctor." It has been so much fun to read! According to my grandfather, Richard Sheranian, Grandpa Herond was an exaggerator, and may have twisted or exaggerated a lot of his book to "make it sell." But, here are the basics of some cool things about Grandpa Herond--if his book is even somewhat true.
I will keep a running list of interesting things about members of the Sheranian family.
