Jan Boone Memorial Award Jud Black Hampton, VA High-Flyer Award Hank Sibley Hampton, VA Committment to Excellence & Dedication Award Heidi Speciale Beaufort, NC HONORING OUR FRIEND One very special achievement we presented this year is the Jan Boone Memorial Award. The recipient for this award is determined by nominations and a vote from the Bluewater team to determine who best exemplifies Jan's determination, caring and hard work. Jan was Bluewater’s tenacious President, who lost her battle with cancer in 2019. Bluewater General Manager Wyatt Lane prefaced the award presentation by saying, “Jan Boone worked her entire career in the boating industry and exemplified the qualities that are the basis of our company’s foundation. Very few people worked as hard and with the same determination and effort that Jan poured into her professional life. Her drive was not for personal gain, but in a relentless pursuit of goals she set for the company, herself and people she represented. Jan never asked anyone to do something she wasn’t willing to do herself. She was a mentor, cheerleader, mother, trusted colleague and taskmaster to everyone who knew her. Jan pushed her peers to become better people in their personal and professional lives.” With a room full of emotion, the inaugural 2020 award was presented to Randy Ramsey, with the second annual award being awarded to Jud Black. Both individuals have a reputation for unconditionally helping their coworkers, for sharing their extensive knowledge, and for bettering the people around them. In receipt of the Jan Boone Memorial Award for the 2020 sales year, Ramsey states, “I was humbled to receive the inaugural Jan Boone Memorial Award at our sales meeting this year. Jan embodied the best in people, always working to help those around her be more successful in business and in their personal lives. She was a natural leader, and her work ethic was unsurpassed by anyone I have ever worked with. Knowing Jan as my friend made me a better person and she will always be in my heart.” Jud Black contributed what it meant to him to receive the Jan Boone Memorial Award for the 2021 sales year, “I am almost speechless, but it is a real credit to be associated with this award. Jan meant a lot to me—she meant a lot to everybody at Bluewater and Jarrett Bay. Over the years, I have received a lot of sales awards and they were all gratifying, but this was the coolest one ever. The fact that it was something my peers voted for and not just something I earned by selling more—it was something they were all a part of. It meant a ton to me.” We’d like to once again congratulate all our top performers and express a big thank you to our Bluewater family for the dedication and determination that has brought us to where we are today.
