I cannot find Alfred H Jette on a census.

Here he is on a 1940 census:

But he only appears by himself.

I finally received copies of Ross Sullivan’s Selective Service records from the National Archives. Unfortunately, there is not much that is new. His registration card records him as: eyes “blue,” hair “blonde,” complexion “fair,” height 6’2’’, weight 260, and having a “scar on left upper arm.” It states that he is a student at Glendale College and living with his father at the E. Harvard address. Ross registered, per the law, at age 18.

Ross Sullivan is on line 19 of the Classification History (SSS Form 102) I received. It lists him as “available for military service” (1-A) and “registrant qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency” (1-Y). It states that his physical examination records were destroyed on November 20, 1970. The result of his exam was “rej.” I believe this is an abbreviation for “rejected” but I have not yet been able to confirm this. I also do not know what the remarks mean (“yx – p??”). I think I will call the archive and ask about these codes.

I will also compile a better reproduction of the relevant parts of the records I received. Please let me know if you want a copy of the full records (the entire page on which Ross is line 19). I can email it.

Thank you Eric! Patience paid off.

If you could post the entire back of the registration card, that would be great.

He would have registered just after his mother had died.
