Tidigt liv redigera
Stafford föddes i Kansas, äldst av tre barn i en kväkarfamilj. Under den stora depressionen var han och hans familj tvungna att leva ett kringflackande liv i jakt för arbete åt fadern. Stafford hjälpte till att dra in pengar till familjen genom att dela ut tidningar, rensa sockerbetsfält, odla grönsaker och jobba som elektrikerhjälp.
