Hello Lillie Jane, my name is George Gee. Aunt Lillie & Aunt Clarkie were my great aunts on my father's side of the family. His name was Earnest Gee. My dad's mother, Altheia, maiden name Harris, was aunt Lillie & aunt Clarkie's sister. She passed before my father was six months old. I have a copy of the early family tree, which I will gladly make copies & share. My email address is: gman127@verizon.net. Cousin, I hope to hear from u & any other of our cousins soon.

I was born in the 60's, so, I am a little younger than most of the relatives that posted comments. However, please let me know when the family reunion takes place.

I engineered the "Milky White Way" recordings -at the studio George Benson and I owned in the Bronx (it was called Triangle Studios out of George's home). We did some additional recording at the House of Music in West Orange, NJ as well. I remember driving Lander to Pleasantville, NJ in his new Cadillac one day. He was a great person to know -and a wonderful singer.

Hi Lorraine,
I do not remember who Lander was visiting when I drove him To Pleasantville, NJ. I do remember our stopping at an antique store and my buying a lamp i kept for years. Do you have any of the 45 records I pressed for Lander? I think it was 3 of them. He started a label, Golden Records, for the pressings.
