Notes
- "I can tie Roger L. Tripp in Phoenix in the Phoenix 1951 city directory to Arnold L. [Tripp] and Gladys Ione Sorter, who had a son Alan Lester Tripp on May 18, 1938 in Phoenix. Maybe Arnold and Gladys took in Rama W. Terry and adopted him after the Terrys divorced and changed his name to Roger Lee Tripp."

"I just found Roger Tripp’s marriage announcement to Ida Crowder Patrick. They married 9 May 1959 in Phoenix. It confirms that he is considered the son of Arnold L. and Gladys Tripp. This clip is from the Arizona Republic, p. 46 [appears on page 56 of newspapers.com]."
