Thanks Mawdo Momodou.
The program is normally very educative.
Chicago: city of lights!
Their soccer competition gets me emotional. why? Because one of their fellows , very active guy died young. The trophy is normally in honor of him. RIP Emily Promp! I think he is survived by wife and at least two kids. I saw people cry as they were honored to grace the giving of the trophy....tears soaking cheeks...
Rgds,
D.....
