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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Habib Ghanim, Sr <[log in to unmask]> To: obsilla <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 15 July 2000 2:46 AM Subject: Re: Update on yesterday's obituary announcement - BubacarrKassama (deceased) > Thanks > i will send some contribution on Monday, Inshallah > at > > > > >BENEFICIARY-BUBACARR KASSAMA (DECEASED) > > > >C/O KEBBA S CEESAY > > > >PROVIDENT BANK > > > >WALNUT HILLS FINANCIAL CENTER > > > >2501 GILBERT AVE., 904L > > > >CINCINNATI, OH 45206. > > > >USA > > > Thanks Habib > ps did you contact dr abdulie Saine and Emanuel Ndow in Ohio > ?? > > > obsilla wrote: > > > Bro.
