Hello, everyone. As some of you have heard Jolly Ann Marine is now under new management. Due to other obligations in my life I haven’t been able to dedicate the time to Jolly Ann that she requires, nor the time that her customers deserve. So, it is time to move on and let someone else serve the Jolly Ann family.
More than anything, I want to thank all of the IDO members and the staff for over a decade of support and friendship. I may be leaving Jolly Ann Marine behind but the friendships I have made here will last forever. I especially want to thank James Holst, Tom Donaldson, Brian Klawitter, and Dean Marshall for helping me grow this business and supporting me all along the way. I am truly blessed to be part of this IDO family, and I hope to be able to spend more time on the water and more time with the friends I’ve made on IDO now that I’m moving on to the next phase of my life.
Lastly, I want to assure everyone that Jolly Ann Marine is in good hands as IDO’s own, Ben Garver is now the new owner and operator. Many of you have purchased products from Jolly Ann because you have come to know that it is a name you can trust. I assure you that Ben will not let you down. I’ve known Ben for many years, and he is a class act. I would not let Jolly Ann go to just anyone. I hope you will all give Ben the same opportunity you have given me.
Thank you all again. I hope to see you on the water or at the local watering hole sometime soon! 
Did you say GARVER?? 
Joking, 
Good luck Wade and thanks for the years of outstanding service! Congrats Ben, it will be nice knowing that Jolley Ann is in good hands.
Thank you for the years of great service you provided to everyone here at IDO, including myself. 
, and head out on the Mississippi to fish. Only this time, I hope it’s Wade asking me questions about electronics.
