Yus,
Feel free to butt in. After all, it was Madiba (your generation, I presume)
who started this business fuelled by Ebrima and got us all the old-timers
worked-up. Jabou,my memory failed me when I thought you were with us. I
will ask Badou Sallah or B.E for assistance on this one.However, thank you
for recalling Pa Sulay's name. I should not have forgotten him since I
spent some time with him in Boston together with Minki Boy and the late
Assie Ndoye who died in a tragic auto accident en route to NYC.I should add
the Wesleyan U fellows, Momodou Ceesay (the best gambian print artist in my
opinion)and the late Batch Samba Njie who was a bright young scientist
(chemistry).The late Baboucarr Mbowe(Antioch College)-Yellow Springs,Ohio)
and la
ter Director of Statistics-the best in the business;conducted the
1983 Census under the most difficult of circumstances;yet considered by
most as the best census figures to date.  Njaggar Ceesay(elder brother of
Momodou)was at MIT in 1974, he is perfectly bilingual, I beleive he also
studied and/or lived in Senegal. My first summer job was the best I have
ever had(120 bucks/wk),language teacher for Gambia's first Peace Corps
group in 1967,together with Saihou Njie(Boss)Bernard Baldeh and Momodou
Sagnia(Koro Ceesay's uncle)now residing at the thumb,Michigandas that's for
you.Yus,Jabou has a better vantage point re:changes.My views later. Sidi
