How to Loopback?

This is in the beginning of the program:

Code:
clear
tput cup 1 20
echo "Welcome to UNIX I Final Assignment"
tput cup 4 3
echo -e "Who would you like to look up?  \c"
tput cup 6 5
echo "[E]vans, Rolland"
tput cup 8 5
echo "[J]ones, Mildred"
tput cup 10 5
echo "[S]mith, Julie"
tput cup 12 5
echo "[Z]ane,  Morris"
tput cup 14 5
echo "Press [Ctrl + c] in Your Keyboard to Quit"
tput cup 16 3
echo -e "Please Enter Your Choice : \c"
tput cup 17 3
echo "(It Is NOT Case Sensitive, Please Feel Free to Make Any Input)"
read option
case $option in

I also created the corresponding information for each input on the display so...

My question is...
How do I display the corresponding information for 5 second and then loop back to the main menu?
