Pat Sutton – In Memorian
February 1, 2010
Truckee lost a true public servant on Saturday night January 30, 2010. Pat Sutton, Mother, Wife, Business Owner, and Public Servant in this wonderful mountain town of Truckee, California was and always will be for me a real stand up person.
Pat was a real role model for all of us citizens. She was profoundly ethical and forever the representative of the people. Always questioning to be sure that she was doing the best to represent her constituents.
Pat served in various capacities over the years here in Truckee but will best be remembered (at least by me) as a director on the Truckee Donner Public Utility District Board. She also had a stint as a Supervisor with Nevada County from 1981 until 1985 and served on the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board from 1982 – 1986.
My memories of Pat mostly involve her tenacious review of PUD technical reports at board meetings. Others in the audience would squirm with disinterest and impatience because they were forced to sit and wait until she was entirely satisfied with the explanation so that she could render an educated decision. She seemed to revel in holding the room “hostage” while she asked many questions that had only long, arduous and, I might add — boring answers. The district employee giving the report would, of course comply and the rest of the room would sleep while Pat sought satisfactory answers.
I will also miss the real and human side of Pat Sutton. Great sense of humor, friendly and welcoming — always a great ambassador of Truckee.
Goodbye Pat, I will miss seeing you occasionally in the post office or talking to you once in a while when you answered the phone at Robert Sutton Paving. Another Icon leaves this earth a better place.

I can’t help it. Suddenly I have really gotten into having fun with the graphs. Lets see how this one turned out. The results are not as dramatic as the Single Family Residences I published earlier.

Sales of Non-Lakefront Homes Truckee-Lake Tahoe 2004-2009
January 28, 2010
After I published my graph yesterday on the statistics covering ALL single family residences sold between 2006 and 2009, I got a call from a fellow agent who asked me if I could eliminate the lakefronts on the graph. Since I knew he had a good point and their high costs tend to askew the stats, I did the homework today and the result is the following graph. I also expanded the year range to homes purchased between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2009 so we could get a really true picture of what just fell off the cliff over the past 2 years. So here it is David. Thanks for your question.

Most of you have probably heard about all the weather to hit the High Sierra, it created havoc on the highways, closed some resorts for a while and piled high in our front yards. This is what it looked like coming into work yesterday morning in Downtown Truckee. And the snow continues….
