Notes - James was born James Lee Weckler. At some point between 1930 and 1940, he took his mother’s maiden name, likely to capitalize on the Martine name made famous by his grandfather’s dance studio.
James’s World War II draft card shows multiple moves during the course of the war. His inital address was at 5245 Winthrop Avenue in Chicago, then 905 Carmen, then 230 Coolidge Avenue in Barrington, and finally 6537 Denny Avenue in North Hollywood, California. [3, 5, 9]
