SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE

After a very long stretch of auction preparation, auction appointments, auctions both near and far, appraisals, and office work, I am looking forward to A DAY OFF - YAHOO!

But as I am anticipating spending the day at home with a pot of coffee and a book, I would like to share my thanks and appreciation!

Our company would not have had almost 20 successful years in the auction industry without the 'good people' that work with us!  Our staff ranges in age from 16 to 81 - isn't that amazing??  Most of the 'young ones' come from St. Thomas Aquinas Academy in Marinette, where we have a few connections and former staff that are currently in college and recommend their younger siblings....

Most of our other co-workers have been with our company for years, and some have worked with me in former businesses.  Many have full-time jobs elsewhere, but work with us on a part-time or occasional basis.  They include teachers, trucking company owners, insurance company specialists,  information technology specialists, artists, retail workers, title company employees, farmers, antique dealers, mechanics, newspaper editors, administrative assistant professionals, social workers, and several retired people.  Their expertise is vast and includes everything from coins to jewelry to industrial and commercial equipment to antique/classic automobiles to Internet marketing to Native American artifacts to real estate and MORE! We are so grateful...

Thanks is especially due to Jennifer, our office manage of almost 10 years!  She 'tells me where I am going,' pays the bills, places our advertising, spends hours doing Internet Marketing, schedules our staff, and has wonderful customer service skills!  Our regular contract auctioneers, Larry (Bucky) Schultz, and Joe Cicero, are a LOT of fun and are very skilled auctioneers!  We are also very appreciative of Auctioneer Carol Miller, who we love to 'surround ourselves with' whenever we can get her away from her own auction business!

And by far, the best person that I 'surround myself with' is my husband Gene...I'm pretty sure that he is much busier working for Superior Auction than he ever was in his 40 plus years at Enstrom Helicopter BUT I am also pretty sure that he's having a LOT more fun!  

Thank you Gene, and to all of the 'Good People That We Surround Ourselves With'!  You are all much appreciated!!

(It will be interesting to see by the comments how many of our staff read our blogs)....
Does ANYBODY read these???
