So I infer that she has a Freshman picture in this Yearbook since they do not issue yearbooks in December. It would be interesting to know how many students at the High School in 1977 were named “Ray”?
“To a more beautiful girl I could not say, Merry Christmas! Ray.”
The woman looks old enough to be Trumps mother.
That's the question I'd like answered, too.
“It would be interesting to know how many students at the High School in 1977 were named “Ray”?”
There was a Ray and a Kay.
I actually think it is Kay.
I thought I read that Roy Moore did not graduate law school until 1977? That fall he may have become an assistant DA, but not a DA? The whole claim against Moore smells!
Never heard of, nor seen, a yearbook that included the Freshman” class. It’s always been Juniors, Seniors and Faculty.
“To a more beautiful girl I could not say, Merry Christmas! Ray.”
While it isn’t altogether clear whether the signature says Roy or Ray, the awkward sentence structure best could be explained by it being a clumsy rhyme, which would lead one to believe that it was signed by a Ray (which rhymes with “say”) and not by a Roy. I think that this is why whoever forged this added not just “Moore,” but also “DA” at the end; the intent was to make the signature rhyme with the dedication. This is a tell-tale sign of a forgery, since not only are there no contemporaneous examples (at least that I have seen reported) of Moore adding “DA” to his signature, and Moore wasn’t even the D.A. in December 1977 (he was the Assistant District Attorney), but the handwriting expert that Allred was claiming had vouched for the signature not being a forgery now is admitting that the “DA” does not match the handwriting of the first part of the message.
As for who “Ray” was, I would be surprised if a classmate would write something as dorky as that rhyme (plus why would a classmate wait until late December to sign it?); looks to me more like something that an older family friend would write when visiting their home during Christmas.
