ALL IN THE FAMILY

ALL IN THE FAMILY — Vaughn Electric Company in Union City is celebrating its 70-year anniversary this year. One of the key reasons for the locally-owned business’ longevity is family. Founded by the late Charlie Vaughn in 1949, the company remains a family business to this day. When Charlie’s son, Steve Vaughn (center), decided to retire, he sold his portion of the company to his son-in-law and daughter (from left), Mike and Rhonda  Rinker. The Rinkers’ daughter-in-law and son, Amanda and Colton Rinker, also work for the company, making it truly a family affair. (See related photos, Page 2.)
