Offspring of the first generation became part of the team during the 1950s. Jay Crist, son of Lehman, joined the business in 1953. Leo and Mike Rutter, Bud's sons, signed on in 1951 and 1955 respectively. In 1959, Stew Hartman, husband of George's daughter Joann came on board. With this second generation came a great number of new ideas that fueled the growth of the companies.
