“Thanks to all of you, my friends, for making Gulf Games such an enjoyable occasion. Y’all are truly sterling company!
Michael Labranche
“Wow. Is there a better single word to describe the Gulf Games just past? I doubt it.
Al Newman
“I view GG as my chance to come up and breathe and mostly be myself, not mom, wife, cook, maid, committee chair or worker, carpool queen, sports mom, daughter of needy parents, etc. I thank all of you for that opportunity. I’ll just end by saying I enjoyed spending time with everyone there. All of you are special to me (I can’t name everyone!) and I want you to know I appreciate the time you give to me.
Susan Hendee
“And so, by the way, just home from GG about 20 minutes ago, bone tired, filled with a treasure trove of new and grand memories, and thoughts of how it will be forever impossible to thank everyone enough for such a wonderful time. Such friends, and such a number of them!
Rob Derrick
“Many thanks to Greg, Vickie, Tim and the Gulf Games gang! Adding in the Hillbilly festival was really a step above and beyond. It’s great to go to a Gulf Games and spend some quality time with all our Cuzins.
Peter McCarthy
“I would like to comment that we have not only great leadership skills but great “followership” skills in evidence at Gulf Games. It’s just wonderful the way people leap into the spirit of the thing and make the party so much more fun for each other.
What a great bunch of folks!
Stven Carlberg
“I made it back last night, desperately wishing I didn’t have to end such a wonderful, special week. The opportunity to spend 9 days with my GG family was truly what I needed. The fun and friendship were just incredible and I hated to see the week come to an end.
Michael Weston
“Words fail to express my admiration for what you have accomplished with Gulf Games. How can I ever thank you for giving me (and everyone else) so many friends?
Al Newman
“Without the wonderful people participating in not only the gaming, but all of the crazy ideas we seem to come up with, GG would just be a lot of decorations, planned events and games sitting around the room.
Vickie Watson
“It was great to have the chance to meet all the other “newbies.” And now (this goes for everyone, too) you’ll have to live with the fact that any future Gulf Games will never be the same without y’all in my book. Be a responsible Gulf Gamer and be with us every time. You are family now.
Lenny Leo
“We met and re-met and became fast friends with so many Gulf Gamers this time around. February and Gulf Games 15 is just too far away.
