Bios: Judie Hagadone Conlan, Susan Stark Tate
Judie Hagadone Conlan: Now that my two sons are grown men and don't need Mom hovering over them, I have more time to play, travel, and relax. Over the years, my job with the Bonner County Assessor's Office has allowed me to see Bonner County at its best and meet lots of interesting people in my rounds as appraiser.
I built my home next door to the house I grew up in, and I treasure being able to still live in that neighborhood. I enjoy being part of the Sandpoint community---it's a wonderful place to live and work, and it makes a great base from which to travel to other places.
In my spare time, I love to work in my garden, watch birds, and travel. My grandchildren are on the Oregon coast, and it's not possible to visit them without enjoying a tasting tour through the heart of Washington wine country.
I walk or ride my bicycle the half mile to my office where I have served as Bonner County Assessor since 2003. I enjoy my work and look forward to helping meet the challenges Bonner County is facing.
Susan Stark Tate: Since the last reunion---we are still living in the rolling hills of the Palouse 10 miles north of Pullman, Wash. We are slowing down now to watch the wildlife go by our windows---moose, coyotes and whatever else goes by.
In 2001, I started a small accounting business in my home. I have a few select clients and am enjoying the more relaxed way of working.
Last winter we took full ownership of the Tate cabin on Bottle Bay at Lake Pend Oreille. We are looking forward to enjoying it more in retirement. Kirk and Tammy (our "kids") definitely are in favor of keeping it.
We have one grandchild so far. Jasmine will be two years old in July, and, of course, it a cute little one. She is giving her dad (Kirk) a taste of what an active child he was!
Our daughter Tammy is showing us what it means to stay active also. She is a triathlon participant (only half ironman so far), but also a marathon runner. She qualified and ran in the Boston Marathon this year. I am a very good spectator at the events and definitely appreciate anyone who does these sports.
