INDEED, THE GAMBIA HAS LOST A RESERVE OF TALLENT AND INTELLECT YEARNING TO
EXPLODE IN CHERNO. I SPOKE TO HIM BRIEFLY BEFORE HE EMBARKED ON THIS SOJOURN
TO EAST TIMOR-HE WAS ALWAYS FULL OF ENERGY AND ZEAL-ALBEIT HIS SHORTCOMINGS.
HE ALMOST MADE SOME PLANS BUT I CAUTIONED HIM TO WAIT UNTIL HE RETURNED
BECAUSE THE ASSIGNMENT IN EAST TIMOR COULD REQUIRE LONGER THAN HE
ANTICIPATED. I TRIED TO REACH HIM WHILE IN TRANSIT IN AUSTRALIA TO NO AVAIL.
LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT WOULD BE THE LAST I HEAR FROM HIM.

MY CONDOLENCE AND REGARDS TO MOSES,KORI, AND THE ENTIRE BALDEH FAMILY.
NECESSAIREMENT, WE ARE THE SAME FAMILY. THANK YOU EBRIMA.
