Born Ora E. Davis, he began using the name Jack O. Davis at a young age. It appears on the certificate for his marriage to Margaret Cain. Some say he started using it when he was a teenager. When I was much younger, I asked him what the "O" stood for. After a brief moment of silence, he replied, "The O stands for O." In any case, it is the only name he used for the rest of his life and the only name by which most of his family and friends knew him.
