Thanks for the response. I guess it's the "The", that I cannot seem to
Justify/account for. Yet it is in every official document.

My trip to DC was great. The program was a success, and saw a lot of lost
friends. Thanks for asking.

        Maila, I don't use 'THE' before my country. From past experience, in
the 60's
        to be precise, mails or references made to Gambia, were confused
with Zambia.
        I don't know of Zambia as "THE Zambia."
        Ps. how was trip to DC last week?
        SAUL
