Gulf Games 12: Al Newman

Williamsburg, Virginia
August 7 – 10, 2003

Sarah’s post was a harsh reminder how hard it is to fully describe the GG experience. Simply put, it doesn’t get any better. The *only* downside is having to eventually pack up and leave.

This downside is always painfully apparent in Kayla’s repeated “Don’t leave!” pleas, tears and repeated hugs for all nearby on Sunday. Matt counted 10 for him and I believe I was similarly squeezed at least 3 times.

I probably hugged at least two dozen of you before leaving on Sunday and although leaving is never fun, the thought of another reunion at some point is about as sweet as it gets.

Thank you all for being there and for making my GG experience so much fun. I will look forward to the next time with very eager anticipation.
