(By Ron)

Ron Stauffer is a family name. I’m the third. My dad’s name is Ron, as is my grandfathers’. When I had a son, I chose a name other than my own to pass down through the generations. (Not that I mind the tradition—it is fun, but I wanted to start my own tradition).

So here’s a photo of four generations of Stauffer men:

• Ronald Reller Stauffer
• Ronald Duane Stauffer
• Ronald Paul Stauffer
• Kendrick Rush Stauffer

Kendrick is a very special boy—he’s my first son, my dad’s first grandson, and my grandfather’s first great-grandson. He also has two sisters to help take care of! My dad has set a goal of having over 100 descendants before the end of his life. Well, I’m doing my part to contribute!
