Roy Stout

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!!

HAPPY EIGHTY-THIRD BIRTHDAY,
ROY!!!!!!!!
