Note to the Reader

McClellan is in boldface type to emphasize that the spelling of the last name also makes a difference, as I found out the hard way. Please use caution when modifying this profile. It took a couple of hours to get everything straight.

McLellan-297 and McClellan-1465 appear to represent the same person because: I thought McLellan-297 was an entirely different person, but someone with more knowledge than me says it's not just that the last name was spelled wrong. The correct spelling is McClellan so McLellan-197 needs to go into McClellan-1465, The bio for McClellan-1465 is complete except for a little bit of tweaking.
