Text Box: By Mike And Lori Stiger Region D Educators Text Box: It’s Been a Great Rider Education Season “Plans in the works for next season” Text Box: professional and personal lives, they have a strong commitment to safety and preparedness and are a shining example for others to follow. Thanks to the leadership and commitment of Brad and Cheryl, Indiana has an outstanding Rider Education Program. We look forward to working with John & Laurel toward the continued success of the Indiana Rider Education program. After many outstanding years as the Senior Indiana District Educators, Brad and Cheryl have decided to step down and hand the baton to John and Laurel. One of the great benefits in being a part of this Association is the friendships you build working with other couples.  Lori and I have truly enjoyed working with them and look forward to our continued friendship.

He also set the example by participating in all of the Rider Events at our District and Regional rallies. Now that he owns an 1800, I look forward to meeting him on the Top Gun course and having some fun. Their service will be missed and we thank them for their years of dedication in furthering the GWRRA Rider Education program.

Communication is “key” in promoting one’s agenda so I need to practice what I preach and make time during the summer months next year. Please join Lori and me in congratulating John & Laurel Kuehl as the new Indiana District Educator’s. They are a great couple and have served as the Assistant Indiana District Educators for Brad & Cheryl Meadows (former Senior Indiana District Educators). In both their
