I don't suppose anyone out there would have this guy's phone number ?
PARIS, Oct. 10 -- Martti Ahtisaari, the former Finnish president who has been a tireless mediator in conflicts around the world for more than three decades, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday and expressed hope that the prize will help him raise funds for further peacemaking in hot spots to come.
Leaving aside headline-grabbing figures, the committee honored a corpulent former schoolteacher and diplomat known for indefatigable persistence in negotiations to bring peaceful closes to wars in countries including Namibia, Indonesia, Yugoslavia and Northern Ireland.

Not only do I admire but wonder what a sense of accomplishment it must be to help two parties find peace. I watched the presentation and wondered why more people aren't interested in doing this kind of work? God bless.
