Mignote, Boston, MA, USA. From: Boston ~ Dr. Tadesse Zerihun Friday, 11/17/00, 10:30 AM Dear sons and daughters of Mother Ethiopia: Thank you so much for
the wonderful inputs you made in Sydney, Australia. As expected, you did not only talk the talk on behalf of us Ethiopians, ... you did surely walk the necessary walk that placed Ethiopia second to the USA,
First in Africa and 20th in the world when it comes to the number of medals collected. This is the first of its kind in the history of Ethiopian athletics. Needless to say, like any other Ethiopian, I'm
glad, happy and thrilled to see the Ethiopians becoming world class athlets. Particularly, Haile Gebre Sellasie, Derartu Tulu, Fatuma Roba, Gete Wami, Gezahegn Abera, Million Abebe and all others who
presented their good selves for the olympic competition deserve our worm and heartfelt congratulations!! Dear Haile Gebre Sellassie and all other athlets of mother Ethiopia, allow me to take this occasion,
not only to extend this expression of my concern for your daily condition at work, ... but also of my intentions to offer votive prayers to the all- mighty "God-of-Ethiopia", that you continue to
expeditiously maintain good health in your daily labors which you have already dedicated to the pursuit of those laboring to see some light at the end of the tunnel of Greater Ethiopia. Obviously, Haile
Gebre Sellasie's, and other athlet's contributions (although of different magnitudes and of different natures and degrees), ... are a veritable 'sin qua non' to the ongoing endless struggle to attain the
ever-lasting good name to Ethiopia, origin of mankind, civic- humanity, and symbol of freedom and national pride. In deed and very truly indeed, your dedication for the objectives of raising Ethiopia's
unique social, cultural, historic, and archeological assets through your determined athletic efforts are likely to be one of the pivotal and vital corner stones to the the new generation of Ethiopians, ...
not only for those born in Mother Ethiopia but also to even glorify the athletic treasures and historical wealth in the rest Africa. For whilst the importance of such serious, critical, nationalist and
professional ventures as your's and few other serious Ethiopians can not be overstated ... who could deny the fact that "the venture of life itself" is of far greater value than are those life
sustaining and comfort supporting professional and athletic ventures (the value of which can not be equated to the value of life itself). Rest assured, in order to succeed, although Mother Ethiopia has a
situation piled high with grievance, we have to move beyond such blames. We've got to focus on what we are going to do tomorrow and the next day and the next day. In this regard, your active participation in
and making your non-stop contribution for raising Ethiopia's name and that of Africa, helps build bridges beyond ethnic feelings in beloved and ancient Ethiopia. Indeed and very truly indeed, I have the
confidence that you have yet a lot more to provide in your athletic efforts of introducing Ethiopia's unique and yet brave sons and daughters, who attempt to unveil the glories and agonies of Ethiopia, the
origin and home of mankind and civic-humanity. So let me thank you very very very much for what you did in Sydney by introducing Ethiopia's name to the global public, ... and for this noble contribution you
made ... not only to the Ethiopian community in diaspora, but also to those at home, now and in the future. In this respect, let me expeditiously express my acknowledgment of your contribution and how
grateful I felt for your inputs. It is then dear Haile Gebre Selassie and other athlets, ... with this deep sited re-affirmation of my personal concerns and my appreciation for your inputs that I herein
extend this expression of my felicitation of this very day to you and to your beloved family members, as I usuall From: Boston, MA, USA~ lula Friday, 11/17/00, 10:26 AM
