We have an Amish market near us and the bakery and the stand that sells things like potato salad are both named Stoltzfus . . . I wonder if this guy is related to any of them.
Oh my goodness, are you kidding? "Stoltzfus" to the Amish is like "Smith" or "Jones" to the anglos.

I’m no runner. Three hours and five minutes is pretty good time, isn’t it?
