-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Al, Thought that you and others on your list would be interested on the W.W.II efforts of Roy Stout. Les Novak -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part Number: 4 Part Type: Plain Text -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On June 7, 1944, Roy Stout was in the Navy, in the 7th Beach Battalion, riding along with his mates, in a Higgins boat, heading for a landing on Omaha Beach in France. His group was divided, so some landed on June 6 (D-Day) and the rest on June 7. Roy was in the June 7 group.....his twentieth birthday! After landing, he spent the next seventy-eight days on the beach in the capacity of signalman, signaling other ships where and when to land. The resistance from the enemy had been enormous, leaving many USA boys dead. In addition to signalman duties, Roy had other duties, one of which was helping to retrieve the bodies floating in the surf. He helped get these bodies to dry ground, away from the surf, where a temporary burial place had been established. HAPPY TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY, ROY !!!!!!!! On June 7, 2007, Roy has just retired from officiating in sports for fifty years and thirty years officiating in Fastpitch Softball from the High School Girls' program. However, he plans to continue young men's and young women's softball officiating at the Palmdale Parks and Recreation Department, and elsewhere. Also, he'll continue with several special larger tournaments throughout the year, namely, Norwalk, CA; Red Rock in St. George, Utah; Palm Springs, CA; Santa Fe, CA; World Tournament, Kitchener, Canada (10 days); etc. Roy is also busy at the Lancaster Presbyterian Church where he is presently finishing a three-year term as Elder. Life is interesting! Praise the Lord! Celebration time!!
