Hello, Rene, you know Mo Baldeh mentioned remembering and being able
to relate to some of the experiences related in your story.  And even
though I grew up in America, to some extent, I could also relate to
some of the things he talked about in his story!

     I think being youthful, and having that first love, and
subsequently being introduced to the wider world, are all universal
things, thatt all can relate to, whether you grew up in Banjul or
Chicago, or a small town like Erin, Tennessee, or the village in
Rene's story!

     I think that there are just some things that generally cut across
cultural, ethnic, and racial boundaries, that are just plain human!

Just some thoughts.

Ginny
