Barbara Duane Poe

I have a life that I love. I graduated from Los Angeles State University in 1975, and continued my education there for several more years, primarily as a biochemistry major. I worked in several labs, in medical research and in QA in California. I returned to Bremerton and had an apprenticeship at PSNS until I left to be a stay-at-home mom for several years. In 2000 I went to work at Kitsap Regional Library, as a substitute, where I am still employed as of 2022. I love this job.

I volunteered at the County Fair for nearly 20 years, but now, grandkids, travel and my job fill my life very satisfactorily. I had hobbies once, as I seem to recall. I've been quilting for 40 years, I love to read, and I walk a lot. I am what you might call a "recovering Evangelical Christian," now a quiet atheist. I have also been studying Spanish for nearly a year.

My husband is the smartest, kindest and most thoughtful, adventurous, and loving person I've ever met, and we have a lot of fun together. He is a retired nuclear engineer, so we have the time to hike, camp, and travel whenever we can.

Our travel experiences, which include all seven continents, have been rather off-beat. We have camped our way to the Panama Canal and back, camped across East and South Africa, visited China just before the Olympics in 2008, and explored the Galapagos Islands, including a birding trip in the Andes as a finale. Other great camping trips include three months exploring the Maritime Provinces of Canada, and another two months driving to the Arctic Ocean in Canada and in Alaska. Next extended camping trip: Australia and New Zealand for 2.5 months. Just prior to COVID, we completed a river cruise from the Black Sea to the North sea, then a tour of Morocco. No, I have never been to London or Rome. I also love seeing the USA and only have two states left: NJ and WV. Up next is Iceland/Greenland, a canal boat cruise in France, and Patagonia/Easter Island/Machu Picchu next Winter.


My daughter, Lindsay, is a lovely delight, and was a candidate for Miss Kitsap when she was 18. She earned a degree in dietetics and human nutrition from WSU, and is currently working in Bremerton for Kitsap Community Resources as their Health and Nutrition Specialist. She and her husband have three kids, which are the light of my life these days. She turned out OK in spite of me.


We work hard at staying physically fit and healthy. Growing older does not require that we grow old.
