Honored Guest Speakers
T
he Kiwanis Club of Ocala hosted several honored speakers during the month of June. Greg Harrell, the new Marion County Clerk of Court, shared his mission in caring for the citizens of our County during and post COVID. Gary Rigby brought his 7 year-old grandson. Eddie Petrie lead the flag salute. Matt Grow, the Director of the Ocala International Airport, shared new and upcoming changes to improve our airport and it’s services on the local level and for those flying nationally and internationally. Monty Python not only spoke but sang a special tune relating to the history of cosmology and our galaxy. The most touching was when Morrey Deen, beloved Ocala Police Chief for many years, talked on behalf of the Honor Flight he founded for Ocala and our World War II Veterans. After his presentation, he honored one of our own World War II Vets and long-time Kiwanis member, Doug Oswald for his many years of service to our Country. Not a dry eye was in the room. Jim McGuire gave special introductions to the upcoming speakers, while other members enjoyed being educated, entertained and inspired by them.
