*Hi Bro Haruna,*

* *

*I think I am the least qualified to be on that list, nonetheless I
acknowledge your honor and take it as encouragement in continuing to
participate to what is dreadfully at hand, to which I am greatly humbled. I
think that your numerous postings here time and again, covered a wider range
of areas –and those people covered, some known and others not, must all be
happy that someone is fighting for them in this forum, and i.e. you.*

* *

*On a second note, I encourage you all to be steadfast and do it together
like LJD shared with all a month ago. I am proud of all of you. The folks (I
am afraid to put list of names now. I am sure you followed Uncle Mathew’s
dilemma, and that is the danger with putting names together.) at the
get-together table in Atlanta carried with them a clear message worth
passing around. You know little me, the spirit of seeing everyone on the
table is a dream ever rooted. As an invitee, I learnt a great deal of wisdom
from the eloquent panelists and the organizers. I hope they will move to
step two soon. I owe them something, and I will fulfill mine.*

* *

*On a last note, I thank you for letting me have access to Mr. kemeseng
Jammeh and Uncle Ebou Manneh during the weekend. *

* *

*Regards,*

*Yj*
