Abdoulaye,

 Thanks for adding the early 70's arrivals to the U.S. I have not been in
touch with Sohna Sallah for a good while, and actually thought she was not
around anymore. I also forgot to mention Abdoulie Njie among the Atlanta
folks.We could compile a pretty interesting history book on this subject.
Again thanks.

  I could not resist the excitement generated by this topic. So here is
  another "old-timer's" tale. I came to the US in 1974, on a flight from
  Dakar to New York. On that flight was Sasi, now Dr. Ndure and
  Alhaji(AZZ) Jagne. AZZ went to Connecticut and Sasi and I went to
  Greeley and Denver, respectively, in Colorado. To my knowledge, I was
  the only Gambian in Denver for over four years. Momodou Sarjo Jallow,
  now a minister in Jammeh's cabinet, was in Trinidad, Colorado and I met
  him in late 1978.  By 1982, we grew up to four people.  Today the
  Gambian Community in Denver has grown to over twenty and include the
  likes of Dr. Bakary Sonko, Alhaji Jeng and Banna Touray.

  I remember the likes of Musa Cham, Abdoulie Njai of Atlanta, Saul Njie
  of Kansas and now in Gambia. In fact, I met two old-timers in D.C., this
  past weekend. Sohna Sallah(1968), Dr. Saba Jallow of Sambang and Mamadou
  Jallow of Basse, >>
