  -------------------------------------------------
  
  Note that the date of marriage here is 1970.  But Eyline's sonTrent told me she died in 1974.  I have not found the record of Eyline's death.  I have no indication otherwise that Wayne and Eyline divorced, so have not been able to resolve this discrepancy yet.

  "My grandmother Eileen [Eyline] passed away when I was only a year or two old I believe, so didn’t even get to know her very well.  Wayne remarried a lovely woman named Marita.  So Wayne and Marita were the only grandparents that I knew, and I never really got to know anyone else."
