Author's note: I have known Mr. Bility since his early years. His late uncle, Sheikh Kafumba Konneh, would often send him to our office to deliver his weekly publication. It was during those visits that I first recognized the greatness within him. Although Mr. Bility was reluctant to have this achievement publicized, I felt compelled to do so--as a personal tribute to him.
