Harrison woman gets check in mail 17 years later

HARRISON — An Arkansas woman says she finally has received a check in the mail that she had been waiting on for about 17 years.

Barbara Frazier of Harrison said she received a letter last week with a postal money order for $200.

She told the Harrison Daily Times that she thought something was wrong because the man from whom the check was mailed no longer lived at the address in Des Moines, Iowa.

But then she realized the postmark on the letter read May 26, 1998. She said she didn't believe the man years ago when she was told that it had been mailed.

Frazier said she called him when she got the money order and that he replied, "I told you so."
