Greetings sisters and brothers,

It is with gratitude and happiness that I am writing
this email.  My family and I moved back to Dallas a
couple of weeks ago and I must thank all of you (on
behalf of my family) for making our stay and
experience in Madison memorable.  To God be the glory
great things He Has done.  He opened a big window of
opportunity for me down here in Dallas.  You know I
shared the good news with my parents and they
responded: "Praise God! We told you that you could go
to the moon if you wanted to."  Nothing could be more
fulfilling, then I reflected to 10 years ago.  Sure
enough, that was my parents' last statement to me
before I boarded the plane to come up here for studies
at the age of 18.

So why are my sharing this with you?  Because without
my parents residing in the States, a lot of you have
contributed to where I am today.  On that note, I
would like to Specially thank Some of the AAM members:

Special thanks to my brother Mensah Lassey for
introducing me to AAM.  I had the opportunity to do
some computer work with him at CUNA Mutual.  I was
still new in Madison and I remember coming back from
lunch and seeing a maroon car with 'AFRICA' license
plate.  He could hear my Soukous music loud and clear.
 He had already parked and headed to the door and I
was rushing to park so that I could introduce myself.
He waited to introduce himself also and the rest was
history.  Thank you Mensah for everything.

Special thanks to my brother Richard Yarl for ALWAYS
being there - ALWAYS.  Thank you for constantly
reminding me of my parents teachings.  Thank you for
constantly reminding me to serve freely whether anyone
values it or not.  The reward is unbelievable!  Thank
you for being such a good role model.  And thank you
for your constant support of Africa United Soccer
Club.  I really can not thank you enough.

Special thanks to my brother Ray Kumapayi who always
reminded me: "You can not please everybody no matter
how much you try."  Thank you for being a role model
to me.  And thank you for all you have done and still
doing for Africa United Soccer Club.  Keep up the good
work brother.

Special thanks to my brothers Ken "Nwanna" Nwankwo,
Abu Hassan, Oumar, Uncle Ben, Dr. Bossu, Uncle Dan
Okpala.  Special thanks to my sisters auntie Koso,
Adelaide, auntie Ann-Marie, Zainabu, auntie Angie
Osakwe, auntie Caroline offor.  Thank you for your
advice and your kind words.

Brothers and sisters, please continue to strive to be
at your best in all you do.  I will continue to do the
same down here.  Remember that underachievers will
always find ways to discredit you and your hard work.
Ignore them and continue to reach for New Heights with
Clean Hands.  Please give your hearty support to
Africa United Soccer Club.  Do not hesitate to contact
me at anytime.  I am one email or phone call away and
I am only 2.5 hours apart.  Remember that you have an
additional place to stay in Dallas when you are in the
area. Sam and L.A.W., please accept my belated
Congratulations on Liberia Independence day
celebration.  May God continue to guide and protect us
all.


K.C. Eke
