To me, the interesting thing here is the name of the lawyer for both the Chiefs and Ariel's family: Tom Porto.
I suspect he's related to Dick Porto, who used to be the estates and trusts lawyer for Baptist Hospital's charitable foundation. The Chiefs reunion dinner used to be done in concert with Baptist's Charitable foundation because former GM Jack Steadman's wife used to be on the board of this charity. When Baptist Hospital closed in the early 2000s, Tavia Hunt was a board member of the charitable foundation. Presumably, she worked with Dick Porto.
My guess is that Tom Porto is an estates and trusts lawyer, and the Chiefs funded a trust for Ariel's benefit. That's why he's the lawyer for both the Chiefs and the family.
How do I know this? My Dad used to be a Dr. at Baptist and worked with that charitable foundation. I chatted with Tavia at those dinners multiple times bc I knew her at UMKC.
