AANE 20th Anniversary

In other auction news, the Auto Auction of New England (AANE) celebrates 20 years of providing its services with its “Roaring Twenties Event” sale on June 4. The event will feature food, prizes and events that will reminisce on the days of prohibition. Among other festivities, the auction staff will give out memorabilia and look back on the auction and its customers over the past two decades.

“It’s amazing to look back 20 years and see how AANE and the industry, as a whole, have evolved, and we appreciate being part of this unique and diverse business,” said Steven DeLuca, the auction’s general manager.

“We are looking forward to giving back to the partners who have supported and encouraged us for the last two decades,” DeLuca said. “The auction is always such a busy place, and we don’t always have the chance to shake all our dealers’ hands and express our appreciation for their decision to do business here year after year. This event gives us that opportunity.”

State Line AA Honors Loyal Employee

In Waverly, N.Y., the State Line Auto Auction and its founders, the Barber family, celebrate the career of Jim Terwilliger, who has spent the last 31 years with the auction after starting his career there in a position in the auction’s reconditioning shop. Terwilliger now works in sales, where he supervises a team of eight employees as the auction’s sales manager.

“I was just a kid needing a job when I went to work for the auction all those years ago,” Terwilliger said. “But ‘work’ turned quickly into a great career. The Barbers have always treated me like family, and working with Jeff Barber, from whom I’ve learned so much, has been a dream come true.”

Jeff Barber, the auction’s owner, reflected on the auction’s history with Terwilliger.

“Because of his dedicated involvement and great interaction with State Line’s customers, ‘Jimmy T’ is known to everyone as a person who can ‘get the job done,’” Barber said. “It means a great deal to me to work with someone like Jimmy who is so good at what he does and is so dedicated to the auction. His contribution to State Line’s success is immeasurable.”
