There have been several tributes to our fallen Co-Director, Linda Horr, who lost her life
in a motorcycle accident in April of 2002. Those we have received so far follow here...
From Michelle Goldsmith
Linda had two passions in life. One was motorcycling, the other was her family. Over the years she has done much to promote motorcycling. Following her example, many women found the courage to ride by themselves. Linda wrote several articles for Motorcycle Tour and Cruiser. The magazine had a beautiful article about her riding family, with pictures of Linda, her dad Lou, and her son Jamie. Linda has been a driving force in the IBMC for the last three years. As Co-Director she was responsible for the Campfire Ring, IBMC Handbook and East Coast representation, as well as other related duties.
Linda's biking career began many years ago. She progressed like many women I know, first riding locally with family and friends, and gradually branching out until she was riding and camping by herself across the continent. Linda treasured those special days when she was traveling and camping. Even bad weather was a cause for celebration, because it always got better. Although Linda enjoyed riding with friends, she would get restless after a few days and go her own way, sometimes meeting back up at a later campout. On trips where she started out alone, she was always delighted when her husband was later able to join her.
Linda leaves behind her husband and riding partner, Scott. Her son Jamie also toured extensively with her. We talked about having a grandparent campout one time so she could bring her only grandson, Donnie. She was delighted when her daughter Jennifer began dating Mike, because he rode, too. Mike is now part of the family.
Linda will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.]]

Linda married Scott Horr on 9 Jan 1976 in Norwich, New London Co, Connecticut, USA. Scott (son of Alfred Horr and Julia Beaupre) was born about 1947 in ; died in in . [Group Sheet]
