It happened in the South of course and it wound up end up producing Charles Howell the Third a PGA golfer from Georgia
So it was a three-Pete or Chuck but what's worse was around that time the well known character actor Jim Backus played Winston Howell the Third on Gilligan's Island
But they couldn't help themselves
