Subj: Re: I bring you Ndokeh&#39;s editorial on former President Sir 
Dawda Jawara.




Buharry,

Thanks once again for your tremendous service. I just finished watching 
it. It
was interesting. It was interesting to hear Jammeh praise Jawara's 
parenting
skills and his calm demeanor. I will wait for the full clip.

Once again, thanks.

Coach
