In April 1979, we were in the final stages of preparations for a parting of ways with Saint Augustines High School. By the middle of June, the O-levels were history, and with it, our tenure as students at Saints, except for those who attended the Sixth Form there. Father Gough was a great educational manager, a fantastic spotter of talent, and no question he took Saints to enviable heights of achievement in academics and sports. He was also quite biased and heavy handed, and had no tolerance for those of us arriving late on occasion from the Kombos. Perseverance is a virtue, and all our travails are now water under the bridge, and I do have abiding respect and fondness for Gough, cantankerous though he was. The allegation that "Kombo Boys Are Always Late" was part of his usual propensity for exaggeration. About why "Gunjur [is] also called Daabaa Naani", I yield the floor to Jabou, my elder from Gunjur. I never met her in person, but know all her younger siblings, and attended primary school with some of them. My only condition for eventually coming in should Jabou be otherwise engaged is for you to restore the "mics" of Drammeh, and Yanks. If you do that now, and I am able to objectively verify that you did, you are guaranteed to get your answer to why "Gunjur [is] also called Daabaa Naani" within the hour. On a side note, is Rene on the L the same Rene Badjan who was our classmate through Form 5 at Saints? There are many Lamin Darbos, but few Malanding Jaitehs, and fewer Rene Badjans.

Why is Gunjur also called Daabaa Naani? Once a lawyer always a lawyer. Thanks for coming to Mr. Drammeh and Yanks Darbo's aid. Both are present at the bantaba although with their mics turned off. Its just unfortunate that some must be reminded that the right to the theater comes with some responsibilities. Malanding Jaiteh ps. its 30yrs this year since the "passing-out" (?). You do not have your copy of the Oxford English Dictionary somewhere. I think all should send Father Murphy a big postcard signed "Kombo Boys Are Always ....".

By the way, Haruna was suggested as a candidate, but his temperament, specialism, and dictum appears different from that of the _Watchman_, with the latter's milieu covering the broad sweep of western history from Antiquity, through the Renaissance, and Enlightenment, to the modern day democratic citadels where the refinements of those ideas are being continually practicalsied in the political realm. I don't suppose you know _The Watchman,_ but let us know if you have any ideas who s/he is. Back to Drammeh, and the subject matter of this query. Is Drammeh's problem one of posting quota, as Mr Mali regularly cries about, or is he suspended/delisted for his views on Ousainou Darboe? If the latter, I urge you to reconvene yourself, or the pertinent Committee, and reinstate his rights. We won't be a complete society without embracing all shades of view, and contrary to my respected political activist - Mballow - conversations around national issues should be as vigorous as possible. No matter how hurtful they may be, I reject the notion that serious national efforts are likely to collapse from the weight of a few verbal salvos. In any case, Drammeh met his match in Yanks, and I am angry at you for taking away a deevloping entertainment. > Please reconsider your decision on Drammeh.
