From Carolina Bayón, NOC Section Manager, International Olympic Committee
Congratulations – this is very impressive to have started your own company in such a short time period, but I must say I am not surprised knowing your combined capabilities!
Please keep us in touch and let me know if there is anything we can do…and if you are ever traveling through this area, it would be wonderful to see you!


From Jay Kriegel, NYC2012 Executive Director
Just a quick note to say that you have been there for us and with us for the long ride, always with valuable insights, wise judgment, encouragement, graciousness - and good cheer. You are really the only person who has been with us from the beginning, every step of the way.
We have never ever had an unpleasant, unproductive, unprofessional or non-useful contactwith you.
Perhaps we never fully showed it, but we were always enormously grateful for all that help and support.
Greg, our deep appreciation for all you gave to me and Dan and the Team and for all the knowledge, decency and good sense you brought to the Olympic Movement.
You made us and the whole process so much more pleasurable and better.
We wish you well, offer our respect and gratitude, and know that you can take pride in all you have achieved and given.


From Alan Ashley, Vice President-Athletics, U.S. Skiing
I - like so many others you have come across in your tenure at USOC - want to wish you well where ever the road takes you next.
I learned a lot from you over the years and have always appreciated your boundless energy, enthusiasm and care for our athletes and coaches.


From The New Zealand Olympic Committee, Eion Edgar, President and Barry Meister, Secretary General
From an NZOC perspective Eion and I remain extremely grateful for your initiative and drive re the Pacific Rim group. It simply would not have happened without your commitment to it, and we certainly hope your good work is continued by others.


From Charlie Battle, former Managing Director, 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games
I have enjoyed working with you in a variety of capacities and will always be grateful for your efforts internationally and for all you have done as an ambassador for the USOC.
You have many friends around the world and I hope you know that there are a great number of folks in the Olympic Movement who recognize and appreciate all that you have done and I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.


From Craig Masback, Chief Executive Officer, USA Track and Field
I appreciate from the bottom of my heart all you have done for the Olympic Movement and track and field over the years.


From David Simon, Executive Director of the LA Sports Council
When I heard the news of your departure from the USOC I thought it truly is the end of an era. From a personal standpoint I will miss not having you there but I sincerely hope that this transition will work to your benefit. You should feel justly proud of your contributions to the Olympic movement during your tenure.


From Felipe Muñoz, President of the Mexican Olympic Committee and Secretary General of PASO
I have certainly enjoyed working with Greg and Francisco for many years. Whether at the Olympics or Pan Am Games, PASO, ANOC, IPSF or Chefs de Mission meetings, we have always have a great relationship and understanding of team work to better serve our Athletes and Officials.
I am looking forward to future exchanges with them and their new joint venture.


From Reynaldo Gonzalez Lopez, IOC Member and Program Director of PASO, former Secretary General of the Cuban Olympic Committee and Vice President of the International Baseball Federation
Thank you very much for remembering us. We are aware of your capacity, experience, professionalism and desire to work. I have no doubt that you will be successful.
We are moving to the new PASO office, when I get a chance I will call you. I am sure some opportunities for collaboration between us will appear.


From Hector Cardona, President of the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee
and President of the Caribbean and Central American Olympic Committees

I have known both Greg Harney and Francisco Campo for many years. They have assisted us with our Delegations participation at many Olympic and Pan American Games. I am glad to know that they will be still involved in sports and the Olympic Movement in general.
I am looking forward to many more years of friendship and involvement with their new company.


From Everett Uchiyama, USA Swimming National Team Director
I want to thank you for your help through the years with swimming. I believe that your influence, expertise and support can directly account for many successes the sport of swimming has had the past Olympics.
On a personal note, I would like to thank you for the advice you have given me. It is advice that has helped me do my job hopefully to a higher level and made me a better Person.


From Gary Cunningham, Director of Athletics at University of California at Santa Barbara
I want to thank you for all the good things you have done for me and the World University Games. I wish you the very best in all endeavors. Please don't hesitate to call on me if I can be of any assistance to you.
You have been a significant part of the Olympic Movement and made many positive contributions.
Thanks for everything and best wishes.—Gary


From Ralph Hale, Chair of the United States Anti-Doping Agency
It was a privilege and honor to work with you first as Chair of Games Preparation and then as Vice President
and finally as Chef de Mission for Atlanta. Your knowledge and skill related to preparation and running the games was extraordinary. It was only exceeded by your political savvy on the International Front and your ability to build consensus with countries that had difficulty speaking to each other.
You were a great friend and helped make my experience with the Olympic Movement outstanding.
The highlight of our association, of course, was the Atlanta Games. As Chef, I really had such support from you that everything was done with precision and accuracy. I can only thank you for making it all happen.
I cannot imagine an Olympic Games without your support and I cannot imagine anyone with more talent
and energy to make all of the events at the games run more smoothly.
You are and will always be a close friend, one that you can count on regardless of what is happening.
Best of luck. Aloha Ralph


From Gilbert Felli, IOC Olympic Games Executive Director
I would like to congratulate you upon your career with USOC and express my warm thanks for
the co-operation we had during the last years, especially within the framework of the 2012 bid process.
I am convinced that you will find new challenging projects in the future and, should they be
linked with the Olympic Movement, I am sure our paths will cross again.


From Hans LaWaetz, President, U.S. Virgin Islands Olympic Committee
I was sad to learn that you and Francisco were no longer with USOC. You were the two individuals that many of us in PASO could depend on to listen to our ideas and get some assistance. I am sure some new opportunity, probably more interesting and challenging, will present itself for both of you.


From Lin Xiaohua, Director of International Relations, Chinese Olympic Committee
Both Mr. GU and I are sad to learn of your departure from the USOC, for which you have served so dedicatedly, and contributed so much! On behalf of the Chinese Olympic Committee, I would like to thank you for all you have done to promote the mutual understanding and friendly relations between the Chinese Olympic Committee. Our thanks also go to you for your insights and wonderful service for the ISPF. Hope to keep in touch, and welcome you to China whenever possible.


From James MacLeod, IOC Solidarity Program Manager
Thanks for everything that you have done for us over the past few years. On a personal level, it has been a truly pleasurable experience working with you. Your commitment to the values and mission of Olympic Solidarity is plain to see and has served us well in the implementation of the exciting projects relating especially to the athletes from Iraq. I wish you the best in your next steps and hope that you stay in touch.


From Tom Jernstedt, Vice President, NCAA
You can take great pride in your many contributions to the Olympic "movement" over an extended period of time. Indeed, you had a heckuva run.


From Jim Tooley, Executive Director, USA Basketball
I want to let you know how much I appreciated all your assistance and support throughout the years. I enjoyed working with you and thought you did a great job for the USOC and the NGBs. Best wishes to you with your new endeavors. I'll look forward to crossing paths again.


From Jim Wolf, Vice President, US Equestrian Team
We always knew we could count on you for unwavering support and guidance. When I think of how many athletes you have helped directly or indirectly over the years it boggles the mind. For many of us you were the USOC. Good luck with your future plans. I am sure we will be working together in some capacity in the future. If there is ever anything I can do for you please let me know.


From Lisa Voight, Executive Director, International World Games Association

From Paul Seiler, Executive Director of USA Baseball
I would like to extend my thanks to you for all you have ever done for USA Baseball and myself in person, and will look forward to doing so soon.
Rest assured you will always have a true ally here, and we'll leave it at that. Looking forward to speaking with you.

Thanks for the work you have done with the NOCs in our part of the world. Look forward to catching up with you.


From Rob Stull, World Olympians Association
I have a great many fond memories of our times within the movement. I remember well the words of encouragement, advice and counsel you have given me as an athlete in two of my three games appearances,
as an ED, as a board and excomm member and most recently as a friend. I know you will succeed in whatever direction you choose.
Your departure from the USOC is truly, in my opinion, the greatest loss the USOC has suffered in my 25 years of involvement.


From Ron Radigonda, Executive Director of USA Softball
I appreciate all that you have done for USA Softball and for me personally over my 7 year tenure as the E.D. at USA Softball.
Your dedication and professionalism are examples that others should adhere to and I look forward to seeing you somewhere down the road.
If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.


From Steve Stoute, President of the Caribbean National Olympic Committees and President of the Barbados NOC
During your tenure it was my perception that for the first time in my many years with this movement,
the USOC was finally putting tangible actions where its mouth was with respect to international relations.
We will miss you. I really hope our paths cross again in the not to distant future.


From Anita DeFrantz, United States senior IOC Member and President of the Amateur Athletic Foundation
From experiences with the LAOOC to now, I have enjoyed working with you.
You are still the guy the athletes remember as they have experienced the best care of any NOC in the world under your leadership.
You have a substantial legacy in the Olympic movement. I am certain our paths will meet again.


From Tiras Odisho, Director General of the National Olympic Committee of Iraq
As always, you are a man of your word and a very good friend of Iraqi people.
I do hope that Faisal will get the best opportunity to qualify and I am looking forward to seeing him in Torino.
Regardless of the results, I think that such a dedicated athlete should be given every chance to improve his performance.
Therefore, I am already looking ahead for the Asian Winter Games and Vancouver. Again I would like to thank you and convey the best wishes of our NOC.
