Bro. Habib,
I did not contact Abdoulaye Saine privately because the last time I read his
mail on this list he intimated that he was going to Florida for a ten day
vacation. I hope he has access to his mails from afar to get the sad news.
About Mr. Ndow, I have no contacts with him absolutely.
By the way, thanks for reminding me.
OB.
Ps: Mr Saine, take note. Infact, you've briefly met Buba on one of your
visits in Ousman Dibba's house in Cincinnati.
