Special thanks to those in the crowd who responded to our pre-auction emergency. An elderly gent was overcome by the humidity and heat and needed immediate attention. The response was fantastic and showed that Maine people are ready to help others in need. Great thanks to all who were involved in the response, the 911 operator, the Oxford dispatch and the Andover EMT team. More thanks to the co-operation, understanding and patience of our audience while the situation was stabilized. The man was transported to Rumford Hospital and held overnight for observation and I hear he has recovered ok.

This sale involved a tremendous effort by many people. We thank our clients, the Pelletiers, for their trust and confidence. I personally would like to thank the following for their help in the planning and execution of this sale. Chet & Brenda Jones, Caleb and his hand picked, first rate crew of runners, Our clerking and bookkeeping crew, Audrey, Courtney and especially Carol.
And thanks to a super bunch of backup auctioneers, all pros, guys I consider as competitors one day and special friends the next. Thanks Paul Arsenault, Buzz Card, and Dan Boyd.
