Betsy Lovett has packed enough into one life for two lifetime achievement awards, but she's thrilled to have received
one. Typical, because she is thrilled by so much - stalking a bargain at a discount store or a wild turkey through all but
impenetrable brush, orchestrating a smashing party or a successful fight against big business, nibbling on cookies with her
seven grandchildren or tuiles with royals.
"She can wear that ball gown
and look like a million bucks, then turn around and go hunting in the woods with mosquitoes the size of Toledo," said
Jane Lanier, executive director of St. Vincent's Healthcare Foundation.
Jacksonville can bank on Marty Lanahan's service

You would think a young college graduate who moved
here from Greenville, S.C., and became president of one of the largest banks by age 37 would be known as a hotshot businesswoman.
Then if she quadruples another bank's size and profitability in six years, you would expect the community to be in awe
of her business prowess.
Martha "Marty" Lanahan, North Florida Area
Executive and Jacksonville City President of Regions Bank and winner of the EVE Award in employment, can't win for winning.
Even EVE Award judges, impressed by her success in establishing name recognition for Regions Bank after it merged with AmSouth
and the subsequent promotion that put her in charge of the bank from St. Augustine to the Panhandle, kept referring to her
community work.
Take 2005. She had tripled the size of AmSouth Bank after
four years as its president, taking it from six branches to 19 and growing deposits by $260 million. As vice chairman of JEA
in 2004, she had seen the agency through four hurricanes; as its chairman, she was responsible for three necessary rate hikes
and coordinating the transition of management when the longtime director retired.
"Yet most people would say I was in charge of volunteers for the Super Bowl," Lanahan said.

McKenzie Reagan had one question for the surgeon who would be operating on her arm: How soon can I ride my
horse?
"She would rather muck stalls than clean her room," Renee
Reagan said of her daughter.
When the 9-year-old fourth-grader at Julington
Creek Elementary School came to in the recovery room at Wolfson Children's Hospital, covering her incision was a surgical
bandage cut in the shape of a horse head.
Danielle Walsh, 37, a Nemours pediatric
surgeon, delves into what turns her patients on as well as what is turning them off.
