Dr Saine, Honestly, Professor John Wiseman's death is a sad loss to Gambian studies in particular, and African studies in general. I intend to be paying a more fitting tribute to him after the burial on Friday. Sandra and I, by the grace of God, would be driving to Newcastle to attend his burial. I spoke to John by phone last week, and he was telling me about the acute and constant pain he was feeling all over his body, especially around his neck, as a result of the malignant tumour in his neck, but I didn't think he was going to die on Sunday. What a loss!!! Ebrima Ceesay PS: Ebrima Sall's email address is: [log in to unmask] I'll give you Dr Jeggan Senghore's email tomorrow. By the way, Dr Senghore was supposed to take up a new post in Niger, but I am not sure whether or not he is still in Dakar. Perhaps Ebrima Sall might know about his whereabout. >From: Abdoulaye Saine <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: [log in to unmask] >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Professor John Wiseman dies >Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 13:43:48 -0500 > >Ebrima: >I am simply shocked!
