An aside to Bakari: I sent a total of 6 letters and post-cards to the Represa address beginning 10/19/07 per your instructions. I guess you never received any of them. So sorry. I guess that is the CDC for you.

Peace, Baby!

Hi Everyone,

Well I guess there is no "Plan C", so I'll re-iterate:

I am very glad I could share Bakari's story with all of you; I hope this blog served its intended purpose for him, as well.

Well, I hope all of you enjoyed reading it as much I valued having the opportunity to work on it, edit and post it. And I am also grateful to all of my friends, who were very gracious and complimented me on its eloquence, style and conciseness; I really appreciated their kudos. And yes, I enjoyed the ego boost.

Regretfully, from this point on, I will no longer be affiliated with this enterprise. Regardless, I enjoyed making this contribution and I extend my best wishes to all of you.

And Bakari, as always, thanks for the opportunity.

Good Luck!
