Hi Gambia-lers, This is to inform you and my friends that after many years of living in Seattle, Washington and working for the University of Washington, I have accepted a position with the Brooklyn Public Library in New York City and will be moving there next week. I am deeply saddened that I have to leave the Pacific NorthWest with my long history and ties, but I feel that the time is right to move on to other opportunities and experience life in the East Coast. As Veteran Gambia-lers could recall, until a few months ago, Gambia-l was originally hosted by my Alma Mater and former employer, the University of Washington during its first few years in existence before the migration to its current host St John's University. I am quite sure that all of you appreciated that. I will be moving to New York by driving a truck accross the approximate 3000 miles from seattle. I will be stopping along the way at nights for some rest and sleep. One of my night stops will be Madison, Wisconsin where I hope to meet for the first time my friend Katim Touray, the founder of Gambia-l. So Katim, I will give you a call along with my cousins in Madison, Sainabou and Mineratou Loum and inform you of my arrival date. To Daddy Sang in Cleveland and Habib Diab in D.C., here I come, joining the east coast gang. I will inform you of my adventurous " trucking trip" from coast to coast. So I am asking you to pray to God/Allah to grant me and my family a safe journey. I will also like to take this opportunity to bid a farewell to all my friends in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and the West Coast. I will be coming back for occasional visits. Thanks Tony Loum ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it. Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month!
