Joe and All those who participated in the Chicago
University demonstrations, I say "Jaarama,"
"Abarakah," "Jehreyjeff." Once again, you guys found

thank you (Joe, Katim, A. Saine, etc) on all your
efforts. Even though I was busy with bussiness
affairs etc and have not checked my "L" messages for a
couple of weeks, I was with you in spirit. And the
freedom spirit lives on...
