Sidi: Thanks for your email. I was away for the 4th of July holiday and came back to the office late this afternoon. I am glad that you and the family are well in light of the unfolding crisis in Abijan. We are leaving for a 10 day break to Florida with the family, except for my eldest daughter who has a summer job. I will contact you as soon as I return. Meanwhile, please take care and be safe.
