TV crew films in Dayton
Jennifer Lehman was calm while sharing her personal “aha moment” with a television crew on Tuesday, July 13.
But she burst into tears when she stopped to talk about it afterwards.
The Eaton resident was one of about two dozen area residents interviewed as part of the Mutual of Omaha “Aha Moment Tour 2010,” which parked its mobile studio outside the Schuster Performing Arts Center on Monday and Tuesday.
A four-member TV crew has been touring the country for more than three months in the long silver Airstream trailer with the Nebraska license plate, collecting interviews that are recorded, edited, posted online and voted on by the public.
Those that attract the most votes at the website will be incorporated into nationally televised commercials for the Mutual of Omaha company.
“Emerging from the trailer,” where she had been interviewed by Atlanta native Jessica Henry and filmed by Dave Regos, who was born in Sydney, Australia, Lehman said her emotional personal moment had to do with “a thank you from a child” that simultaneously reminded her of her own childhood and inspired her life’s work.
She is a staff member for the national organization Kids in Need, which is based in Dayton. “Aha” production assistant Kait Ebinger, who grew up in San Francisco, said the tour is in its second year.
“This year we’ve been visiting mid-sized cities like Dayton. We’ve gotten a good representation of people.”
A few of the other stops include Eugene, Ore.; Fresno, Calif.; Providence, R.I.; Baton Rouge, La., and Austin, Texas.
Lehman said she thinks “most people probably have had a aha moment, but might not know that until later. That’s how it was for me.”
Henry said the Dayton interviews will be posted on the website “within two or three weeks.” For more information, go to www.ahamoment.com.

I just read this article twice and still have no clue what an ‘aha moment’ is or why I should care… :0/

A-ha moment is an ad campaign by Mutual. Watch more commercials. I can only guess that the reason to care is that you can go and give your moment. As usual, poorly written article with very little news involved. Maybe they should have posted this before the crew left Dayton. Checked and their last day was yesterday. This article posted at 5 in the afternoon, a little late for anyone to share their aha moment.

It always amazes me to read some of the ignorant comments made to articles written by the DDN. How hard is it to read the article go to the website at the end of said article and find out what exactly an “aha moment” is. What a bunch of morons. Why all the negativity to something that is nothing but a positive story? Miserable people suck.
