Norman Pashoian, 85, worked his final day as a doorman at the Taj Hotel, formerly the Ritz Carlton, on Wednesday. Pashoian reported to work Aug. 4, 1947, for the first day of his first job. He has met many famous guests. “Here I was, just in my early 20s, and I was seeing someone as famous as [Winston] Churchill. I was amazed.” Pashoian said he went through more than a dozen hats during his career, or one every few years. “He’s like a cucumber,” said Ibrahim Assaf, 55, a doorman who has worked beside Pashoian for 27 years. “Calm and cool.” Congratulations Norman!!
