Sidi, I just want to congratulate you and also to wish Fatuma a huge success
in her Diplomatic assignment to kenya. It is a good feeling to see that our
kids are living the American Dream, I remember Fatuma when I visited you in
Wisconsin many moons ago. Again, I want to say to Fatuma, keep focus, the
sky is the limit, we are all praying for you.
Ola Coker
