Indeed Galleh,
You're right. I thought you were Joe's bodyguard so I missed a great
opportunity to know you. You were the only reason I didn't wring Joe's small
neck.
Men. I hope there'll be another opportunity when there's a window in your
schedule. Indeed, I looked at your picture in Mandela's other Children and
in the
interview you had with Freedom online and yes I did meet an affable and
stoic figure resembling those portraits at Morehouse. Wow. BTW I will be at
Morehouse at the invitation of The Hugh Gloster Foundation on march 26th. I
will
have an opportunity to introduce The GDP to Dr. Higginbotham. I hope you
will
be free around then so I can send you a personal invitation to attend the
dinner with me. Please inform me of that prospect. Thnx in advance. Lamin,
you
heard it. Galleh doesn't mind and he accepts the ambiance for the
nomenclature.
Now go away.
And Galleh owns you. So I will henceforth I'll call you Galleon. Masoud.

Haruna,
I think we did meet at the launching of the STGDP in Atlanta about three
years ago. I was there with Joe Sambou and the rest of the folks. Remember
that?
Or maybe you didn't know I was Galleh. By the way, it's okay to call me
Galleh. That's what my most intimate friends call me back home. My Boss
Lamin
Jatta thinks that he owns all the Fulas but of course it is the other way
round.
