Katim, I decided to acknowledge your good-will message to Ambassador McDonlad while "Chally John" is not lookin'. I am certain that the Ambassador looks forward to his new assignment. As a veteran of some of the diplomatic 'hot spots', The Gambia should pose little problem for Ambassador McDonald who already has registered a distinguished career with the State Department.
