Joseph Clyde  Ling

Clyde and Jeannie were married on October 18, 1942, at 1207 N. Cherokee Avenue, Hollywood Ca., one block north of Santa Monica Boulevard just north of Lexington Avenue between Highlands and Cahuenga. Clyde was 21 and Jeannie 20. 1207 Cherokee was her residence. The marriage license shows Clyde residing at the Cinema Hotel (could not find in a Google search) Clyde worked at a gas station and Jeannie at Vega Aircraft (Rosie the Riviter perhaps). I wonder if Clyde and George worked at the same gas station. Here is a photo of George with Bert and Bill Jansz, my mothers brothers, at a gas station where they worked.

Apparently Clyde was his middle name. His father Charles' middle name was also Clyde. Maybe, just maybe, that was why he was always called Clyde Jr.
