Thoughts From Randy   Great to Greater  

If I say this every year  I apologize, but I think this year's State Summer Games were our best Summer Games, yet.  They were an ensemble of so many memorable parts and pieces - all I have done for weeks is talk about them.  In my mind - there were  highlights.  

 

Honoring the people of our past who were instrumental in getting SONM firmly on the ground and moving forward was humbling.  As they gathered on Friday evening at our Chairman's Reception - watching each of them reconnect was a memory in itself.  This accomplished group can never be thanked enough not only for what they accomplished on behalf of our athletes, but because of their passion, how they inspired so many others to do the same.
