At The Brown Hotel

[My Good Babushka]

During a business trip in the 1950s, George D. Bryson registered at The Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, taking room 307. He jokingly asked whether he had any mail and was confused to learn that there was a letter for George D. Bryson, room 307. The room’s occupant on the previous night was also a man named George D. Bryson.
