NOTES






2 -- Earl and Tida are said to have been married in Brooklyn, N. Y., on 11 July 1969, but this has not been confirmed. Earl married his first wife, Barbara Ann Hart, in Abilene, Kan., on 18 March 1954, and the final judgement in their divorce (in the Superior Court of California) was granted on 2 March 1972. See Howard Sounes, The Wicked Game [2004], pp. 114-118.
