4of331. People always ask me about the origin of my name. It was passed down through my family. I had a Great Uncle Asa Staplin who my father admired. The name is Hebrew. In the Old Testament, Asa was the third King of Judah.fStop Images/Getty ImagesShow MoreShow Less

Stackel announced his departure at the end of today’s broadcast saying, in part:
It’s really been an honor telling the Capital Region’s stories. The people here have been so good to me. And NewsChannel13 is a great place to work. Not everybody gets to go into the office excited about the day ahead, but I did. Everywhere I went around the Capital Region, I made a new friend. And I’ve made lifelong friendships here at the station. It’s just, the two am wake-up call and the six pm bedtime became too much. There are no good hours in the news business. And if I was going to make a move in my life, now’s the time to do it. I still love reporting. But I am extremely excited for this next chapter in my life.
