Unusual Name Mixup Faces Farm Neighbors
Mrs. Sarah McGee bought a Kansas City area farm for her brother George Williams from Portland. After signing papers she saw the mailbox name across the road matched her brother, a former Missouri basketball star. She suggested using his middle name Lee to avoid misdirected mail. Williams declined, stating Portia Lee is his middle name, leaving mail routing to the men.
