Ebrima, This discussion has also been very interesting and rewarding for me. I have received a lot of private email from young members of the list who have expressed their appreciation for us older folks taking them down memory lane.Some have said that this has actually served as an inspiration for them, as well as a glance into some of the years that their loved ones our age had spent abroad, and that is nice to hear. It has therefore been a double treat for me as i am sure it has been for the rest who contributed such nice memories to this discussion. Thanks Sidi, Habib, Daddy Sang, Prince Coker and all those others who we did not manage to coax out of the woodwork, as well as Ebrima Ceesay for initiating it.

I couldn't write yesterday because I was in London. Interestingly, I received over three private mails from some of these "USA veterans" in which they informed me that they were/are also enjoying the discussions on the above captioned topic. Jabou and Habib: Just curious! Is this Amira Diab the same as Mrs Amira Jagne?
