last Thursday, I came down to Maryland over the last weekend. I will be here up to next Saturday June thirty when I will return to Sierra Leone. In view of the shortness of my stay, I wonder whether I may be able to meet any of you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

any case, I will be with you in spirit. I wish you all a very successful Convention.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
