We are Ed and Linda Johnson, and we are excited to accept the position of Membership Enhancement Division Directors and work with the National Staff and all Members of GWRRA.  We reside in Bristol, Virginia, home of the Bristol Motor Speedway.  Bristol is located on the border between Virginia and Tennessee.  We also have a farm in North Carolina that we use as our quiet Get-Away! 
 
We were married in August, 2000, during the Kentucky District Rally on the banks of the Ohio River.  Ed has been a member of GWRRA since 1985 and served as Chapter Director, Assistant District Director and District Director of Virginia in 1992-1993.  Since we became a team, we have served as Chapter Directors, Newsletter Editors, Special Project Coordinator and Treasurer of our home Chapter, VAH.  Prior to accepting this position, we served as National Membership Enhancement Coordinators and as Region N Membership Enhancement Coordinators.   We are Life Members of GWRRA, and both are Level 4 in Rider Education, Certified LTD Seminar Presenters and Certified Bike Show Judges.  We currently ride a 2000 Gold Wing SE (Red/Red) and have toured  46 states and one Atlantic Province (New Brunswick).

Ed retired from the Virginia State Police in 2003 as a First Sergeant with 34 years of service.  Linda retired from the Washington County School System in 2005 after 27 years in the Business and Finance Department.  We have three children, seven grandchildren, and that does not include the granddogs and grandcats!  Other than GWRRA, we are active in our church, and our hobbies are collecting Hull Pottery and repairing all types of clocks (especially Grandfather Clocks).  

Ed and I are excited to be serving the Members in the position of Membership Enhancement Division Directors.  We have made many friends in GWRRA over the years and look forward to making many more.  GWRRA is a great organization, and we hope the work we do for the Members will make it even greater.

If we can be of service to enhance your membership or your GWRRA experience, please feel free to contact us either by phone or email.  Our mailing address is: 20141 Inverness Way, Bristol, VA  24202.
