2020 MARCH - APRIL

MARCH 19TH & APRIL 16TH LUNCHEONS

MEET OUR MARCH SPEAKER: ED OBAUGH Ed Obaugh was born in

Harrisonburg, Virginia and

spent his early years in the

small farming community of

New Hope, Ohio. In the

summer of 1954, when five

years old, Ed and his

family moved to the Lake

Magdalene area of Tampa.

He graduated from

Chamberlain High School in 1966. While

there, he met a lovely young lady named

Sharon Cline, and on May 25, 1968, they

were married. Ed and Sharon are blessed

with two daughters, two grandsons, two

granddaughters and one great grandson!

Ed joined the United States Navy in

September of 1967,

completing his boot camp at

the Great Lakes Navy Base in

Illinois. There he received

education as a jet engine

mechanic. His first duty station

was, for two years, at the NAS

Meridian, Mississippi. His

second duty station was at the NAS

Lemoore, California where he was assigned

to Attack Squadron VA-212 (A4-E Skyhawk

Aircraft.) (Cont. Pg. 2)

MEET OUR APRIL SPEAKER: JENNIFER HANES

Jennifer was born to Mary

and Phillip Hanes and

grew up in Ocala, Florida

as the middle girl

between two brothers. At

a young age Jennifer

developed a deep interest

in animals. She rescued abandoned

squirrels and birds from the back yard,

enjoyed watching the trainers at Sea World,

and took care of the family dogs – Rascal,

then Snickers and Spunky. There’s an

interesting family video of Jennifer, age

two, telling the family Golden

Retriever to “sit and shake!”

While in high school,

Jennifer read a newspaper

article about a puppy raiser

in Ocala who volunteered for

Canine Companions for

Independence, a national non-profit

organization that provides assistance dogs

to children, adults and veterans free of

charge. She contacted the puppy raiser and

began a mentorship program to assist the

volunteer at dog obedience classes and

social outings at the local mall, restaurants

and stores. Jennifer attended her first

Canine Companions graduation a few

months later and was amazed to see the

MARCH 19TH AND APRIL 16TH LUNCHEONS

MEET OUR MARCH SPEAKER: ED OBAUGH (CONT.) Ed also spent an eight-month tour of duty on

the USS Hancock Aircraft Carrier (CVA-19)

off the coast of Vietnam in the Gulf of

Tonkin. In November, 1971, he received an

Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy. Ed

describes his service in the Navy as “a

wonderful experience...it created memories

that one could never forget.”

After his Navy discharge, Ed worked with

Southern Weighing and Inspection Bureau

(SWIB) for 13 years. In July,1987, he was

hired by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s

Office. Ed proudly describes the many long

hours on his motorcycle as “an incredible

ride...25 years of

ministry!” He retired 7½

years ago after 25+

years of outstanding

service!

In 1986, Ed made the

important decision to join Exciting Idlewild

Baptist Church. He later became the faithful

Teacher of Joint Heirs Bible Fellowship

Class...a job he still holds. He happily calls

this time as “20+ years of loving on people!”

During these many years of service, Ed has

learned that “Scriptures are not about

people, but how God

can do things through

obedient people!”

MEET OUR APRIL SPEAKER JENNIFER HANES (CONT.)

difference these dogs

made in the lives of

their new handlers.

Jennifer graduated

summa cum laude

from Union University

in Jackson, TN with a

degree in psychology/

biology with an emphasis in math/computer

Science. During her college breaks, she

drove from Ocala to Orlando to volunteer at

Canine Companions and spent hours doing

“everything they’d let me,” such as

monitoring groups of dogs in community play

outside, cleaning kennels, scooping poop,

and giving every dog a bath on Fridays!

Jennifer accepted an Instructor Assistant

position with Canine Companions in January

2006, packed her car, and drove to Santa

Rosa, CA to begin her career at the

organization’s headquarters. She moved to

Oceanside, CA for an apprentice course and

then arrived in Orlando, FL as an employee

in November 2006. Since her start in Santa

Rosa, she’s held eight titles with the

organization, recently

as Client Services

Program Director for

the Southeast Region.

MARCH AND APRIL LUNCHEON MUSICAL TALENT

Page 3

MEET OUR APRIL SPEAKER: JENNIFER HANES (CONT.) In this role, she works with applicants who

are interested in receiving an assistance

dog, students participating in a two-week

training course to be matched with a dog,

and 400 graduate teams living in eight

states. She also works with training a staff

and development team and is often called

upon to give media presentations for the

public.

Jennifer enjoys teaching

dogs and people, and

appreciates the challenge

of working with a variety

of personalities and

temperaments in both.

She says, “Training dogs

is rewarding, but my

biggest joy is meeting the

people whom we serve.” She works with

people of a variety of ages, backgrounds

and needs, and wants to help others catch a

vision of how an assistance dog can

enhance someone’s life by serving as their

ears, hands and/or feet.

MEET OUR MARCH MUSICAL TALENT: GEARY JARRETT My wife, Susan, and I

have been active

members of Idlewild

Baptist Church since

2002, after moving here

from Lynchburg, VA.

Coming from a much

smaller community and church, we initially

felt a little overwhelmed in the larger church

setting of Idlewild. But we were amazed at

how easily and quickly we became a part of

this church family, thanks to the

encouragement of people inviting us into

their fellowship and my involvement in our

excellent IBC Music Ministry.

Music is a passion I

inherited from my

son, Dr. Scott Allen

Jarrett. For many

years Scott was

successfully

involved in important

music activities in the Boston, MA area.

Recently, he has started a new professional

chorus in Charlotte, NC - the Bach Akadamie

Charlotte - as well as serving as President of

the Early Music America national

organization. Susan has taken on new

responsibilities in her job at Bank of America

and continues to thrive in her important role

there. I remain self employed with my

business, JIL Technologies, where I provide

computer support for many people, including

our IBC seniors.

Training….

LUNCH ON YOUR OWN AT FRED’S MARKET

COST: $10

Cracker Country is an 1890s rural living

history museum focusing on hands-on

opportunities for everyone to learn

about old Florida. Located on the

Florida State Fairgrounds, the museum

holds a collection of 13 original

buildings dating from 1870-1912 which

were relocated from across the state of

Florida. Their buildings range from

public buildings like the Terry Store and

Okahumpka Train Depot, to private

buildings like the Carlton and Smith

homes. Today, the historically furnished

buildings recreate the lifestyles of the

past, and costumed interpreters portray

daily living as Florida pioneers.

Come join us as we visit a little of

historical Florida and learn what it

meant to live “back in the day.”

APRIL SENIOR TRIP

Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour - Adventuresome for the first time visitors

seeking flora and fauna or savvy Orlando travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-

path vacation experience won’t be disappointed when they discover the

Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour. Located on Lake Osceola in the quiet suburb

less than 10 minutes from downtown Orlando, the boat tour offers hour-long,

guided cruises through three of the seven lakes and two, narrow manmade

canals on the tranquil Winter Park chain. On any given tour, participants may

observe large cranes swooping waterside to snag a large fish or a lazy

alligator languishing on a nearby bank. Breathtaking views of opulent private

homes and exquisite estates sprawling along the shores are also a key

feature of the scenic cruise.

Morse Museum - The Morse Museum houses the world’s most comprehensive

collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), including the artist

and designer’s jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass lamps and

windows. The Museum’s holdings also include American art pottery, late 19th-

and early 20th-century American paintings, graphics, and decorative art.

Sad News from Minnesota…

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the

entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy

died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma

complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was

71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.

Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects,

including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California

Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and

Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with

flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who

never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy

rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not

considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.

Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered

a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three

children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven.

He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
