Remembering Lynne M. Slade

Lynne joined the Bioregional Planning program in the fall of 2005 and was in the 2006 major planning and design studio studying future growth in Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho. She was the Idaho contingent, as she lived in Clifton, Idaho since 1981 with her family. She was a 4-H leader for more than 30 years, working with many youngsters in teaching them to ride and care for horses. She was a member of the 4-H Horse Council in Franklin County as well as District 4 for the state of Idaho. For 15 years she served Utah State University as an advisor for the college of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. She was an active member of the National Association of Professional Academic Advisors and recently received the 2006 Robins Award for Professional Academic Advisor of the Year.

Her interest and motivation in the studio was contagious, and she was a constant source of ideas and new approaches to regional planning for Cache Valley. Lynne was very concerned about helping to direct future growth in the valley in order to maintain a rich quality of life for all of its people in Utah and Idaho. She was recently selected to serve on the Growth Committee for Franklin County Planning and Zoning. She and her husband Paul were the proud parents of 7 children and grandparents of 16 grandchildren.

Lynne will be missed by all of us.
