    I was stranded here at first I thought “oh great” but within the first few hours the people here were very friendly and helpful they are probably some of the nicest people that I have met and this town is great stop and help us out a lot this video proves how nice these people are and I always can’t wait to make my next stop there again.

    I did not expect when typing "Green River Wyoming" into the KZread search for the first video cause such a visceral emotional response as seeing Mr. Gunter and Mr. Maddox again. Thank you everyone involved and you two gentlemen for everything you did. Thank you all the way from Virginia.

    My parents moved us out there when I was 5, and I loved it there! We stayed there for 3 years. We moved back to Missouri because we missed family. I still think about Greenriver and the great memories. I sure do miss it!!!

    On a trip to Colorado this Summer with the family, my car broke down in Green River. It was a Sunday and I couldn't get a tow so we stayed over night at a motel on Flamingo Gorge Rd. The people we met were very friendly and helpful during our layover.

    Eric, really nice job on your video. Nice to see people who love there home town. I love Wyoming. My dad was from Superior Wyoming. We spent 2 weeks every summer there when we were kids. Still when ever my brother and sisters get together we always end up talking about the great trips to Wyoming. Funny how the teachers who have such an impact on so many are so humble.

    Eric, Thank you so much for this video! Yes, Rudy Gunter is the best. Rudy was my basketball coach and when we traveled to Cheyenne to play Central he let me be in the starting lineup. You see we had moved from there several years before and he knew it. I had no business starting but he knew it would mean something to me. I have never forgotten it! When Sandy said how Rudy has touched so many lives--it is true! Wayne Gosar

    I used to live on the property of the Hoffmans right next to the river from 1974 to 1976. We lived right by I-80 across from the huge bluffs which we used to climb around on. Mr. Hoffman was so nice to us and used to invite us to ice skate on his rink that he made during the winters. It was brutal in the wintertime, especially living I'm a trailer but we survived. Played little league and was on the swim team. We always had something to do there.

    This has been on my list of cities to move to. I lived in a big metropolitan city my whole life. Philadelphia, and I hate it here. So much crime and trash everywhere. Murders and thieves. I’ve been looking into towns like these to move to. It’s a big change, but it’s the change I’m looking for. This town looks beautiful.

    Hi opal here. We just put a miniature golf course in our playground. With bean bag toss and horse shoes. Our golf clubs or putters are neon colors, I like that! So last Saturday we cut the ribbon ! They may add 9 more holes if this turns out great. Come have lunch sometime in OPAL sir in nice benches and under a tree or at the table area, but mostly have fun

    I lived in Green River twice. Owned a home both times. 1st time 1984-1985. 2nd time 1995-1996. There is nothing about it to recommend. If you grew up there and didn't know any better, maybe so. But if you were ever 10 miles out if town you wouldn't want to go back.

    I loved this video, It reminded me of my home "Camanche, Iowa- population 3500 when I lived there, and the story of his art teacher Mr. Gunter. Also reminded me of my music Teacher and Vocal coach for voice lessons, Mrs Montgomery. I'm a vocal artist still to this day. Singing and still enjoying music. I'm 62 today, these kind of places and people stay with you all your life.
