About Mrs. Blakemore
My name is Candy Blakemore. This is my fifth year at Waggoner I live in the community with my husband Art and son Brad. Art as chair of the Economics Department and Brad graduated from ASU last Dec. and is now looking at graduate school out of state. We also have Danny, a Clumber Spaniel and Sassy, a Persian cat. When I am not at Waggoner I like to have an ice tea at AJ's, shop or go to an ASU sporting event. I look forward to a terrific year with a terrific class.
