Boy Sidi, I don't remember some of these folks because i don't think i met all of them over here. We were sort of the group that came after all these guys, although we did overlap and meet a lot of the names mentioned in New York, including matarr Njie who was at Columbia at the time. He and i used to go to Pap cheyassin Secka's house in the summers because we used to love to just hang around him and listen to him talk to us about various issues. . I was in Atlanta with Baks Touray, Baboucarr Njie, Ousman Sabally, Modou Jagne, Koto Bamba Njie, Sara Ceesay, Narr Jagne, Modou jagne,Modou Sosseh etc before I left for the Univ. of Georgia. After that, i went home and worked for Pest Control under Saul Mboob ( quite an experience) briefly before packing it up and returning to the States. I left for Botswana a couple of years later. The doctor you refer to i believe is Pa Sulay Jallow who was a classmate of mine at GHS, and a neighbour at Wellington street. He attended Clarke college Atlanta, and then Albert Einstein in New York. I lost touch with him after that although he was a good friend.
