GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - A Gulfport woman has received a check for$24,203 from the state's unclaimed property program.
Pamela Wilkinson received the check this week from State
Treasurer Tate Reeves.
Reeves says Wilkinson's father had an insurance policy. When he
passed away nine years ago, Wilkinson never knew the money existed.
Reeves says his office found Wilkinson by calling her uncle.
Wilkinson is a teacher at Bayou View Middle School. Her family
lost everything in Katrina. She said the money is truly a special
gift.
Wilkinson said she plans to save the money and see what needs
come up. She is putting one son through college.
