Heather Gorning

Heather Gorning is a newer resident of the Edison Neighborhood, a proud grandmother of two, and in her spare time, a Fitness Instructor at the YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo, and now a Community Correspondent for On The Ground Edison. Heather comes from a military family and has lived in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Virginia.  Her favorite memories are those of Virginia. She says the scenery, the history, the people, and the summers spent completely barefoot still ring clear in her memory.  Each weekend was spent either at the ocean, camping, or at the battlefields and museums. She is looking forward to sharing her love of the outdoors and nature with her grandchildren and making a positive difference in the Edison Neighborhood.
