George Hunt, Sr. (photo left) has dedicated 48 years to the Northampton Cooperative Auction Association, an unprecedented commitment. George's affiliation with the auction began in the early 1950s when he was a consignor and trucker. In 1971, George joined the ranks of the field committee and in 1989 he not only became a director but was elected to serve as Vice President. George served as VP until 1992 when he assumed the presidency for 2 years. George has been a member of the board since his election in 89. In recent years George has become the historian of the board, reflecting on prior projects, issues and concerns that have come before the board.
