Misc. Notes
He was born Madison Blaine Wells, after his parents were divorced. When his mother, Elsie, was subsequently living with her parents, she resumed using her maiden name. As a result Blaine is listed in 1930 as Blaine McVay, and in 1940 as Blaine M. McVay. It also appears that a second birth certificate was issued with his McVay surname.
He was married to Norma Brokaw on 16 Feb 1942, and was married when he enlisted in the Army.
He enlisted in the Army during WWII on 7 Oct 1942, and was released 30 Nov 1945.
