Savannah, Georgia
August 1 – 4, 2002
“WOW WOW WOW! Terrific weekend. On the way home, Elaine planned our trips to Birmingham, Williamsburg, Pensacola, and New Orleans. It has been so exciting to see this event become a routine part of our lives. 2 years ago I mentioned it to Elaine hoping that she would approve of the trip. Now, she is excited about trips as I am!”
Chris Lohroff
“What can I tell you? GG surpassed everything I thought it might be. “
“It always amazes me how games wind up being second to the renewal of old friendships and the start of brand new ones. GG was an incredibly *rich* experience and with one son grown to 22 and the other now 15, it was wonderful being able to share this experience with the kids. Matt had the most awesome time!”
Al Newman
“What a great time. Family, friends, and games. No sleep. It doesn’t get any better.”
Richard Glanzer
“While I did have an opportunity to fulfill/deepen my gaming fix, this pales in comparison to the friendships and fellowship which ultimately is the essence of Gulf Games.”
Neil Carr
“…caring more about how much I laughed rather than how often I won.”
Steve Kurzban
“I just wanted to echo Ed and thank everyone for an AWESOME time. This was the first event like this that I have ever attended and it was a truly incredible experience. I had never met any of you in person before and I was overwhelmed by the friendliness of everyone (and I mean everyone) there. “
Susan Rozmiarek
“I’d also like to say just how much fun Jay and I had in Savannah gaming. We’ve talked already so much about the wonderful dynamics that make up Gulf Games. From the awesome games, to the even more awesome people… and that is just the tip of the iceberg!!!!”
Kay Jones
“This event was so well thought out and organized that it was impossible to find fault – even for a cynical New Yorker.”
Steve Kurzban
“Well, it doesn’t seem possible, but each Gulf Games seems more enjoyable than the last. This was my third, and whereas before I was delighted to find great gamers to play with, now there are great *friends* to play with. The times away from the gaming tables grow more and more entertaining, which is really what makes Gulf Games so special.”
Larry Levy
“I really want to be envious of you all, since I couldn’t be there, but I find I am simply just enjoying the time vicariously through you all. Before I went to GG Pensacola, you were just names and words, but since then, you’ve become incredible people and friends, and I just can’t help but be thrilled with thinking of all the fun you had. And I’ll be there again too — Birmingham I hope!”
Rob Derrick
“By the way, I had a great time meeting all our new friends, revisiting my old ones, and only hearing Greg sing one song the whole time I was in Savannah. Two out of three ain’t bad, huh? Can’t we form a professional game playing exhibition tour and travel around the world doing this for a living? Every week . . .”
Lenny Leo
“We had a great time gaming in Savannah. We loved seeing our old friends again, and we loved meeting our new friends.”
David Vander Ark
“Regrets? Having to waste time sleeping. “
Michael Labranche
“I must admit, I was kinda nervous. However, from reading about previous Gulf Games, I already knew what a great bunch of people I would be meeting. And……..the reports were dead on. EVERY single person was friendly and welcoming. It was truly an incredible experience.”
Susan Rozmiarek
“In short … it was FANTASTIC! Perhaps the best gaming experience of my life. To gather such a wonderful group of people where friendship, camaraderie, civility and love flow freely is truly magical.”
