Thanks for the post.
The article does not mention a few things that are very relevant:
1. The name on the yearbook is Ray, not Roy.
2. The Y in the Ray in the yearbook is almost an exact duplicate for the Y in Merry in the message.
3. The Y in Ray in the year book is nothing like the Y in Roy Moore’s actual signature.
4. The yearbook greeting up to the word Ray is written in the same handwriting with the same pen.
5. In the yearbook, Moore, D.A., 12-22-77 and Olde Hickory House are written with a different pen and by at least 2 different people.
6. Roy Moore was never a District Attorney or D.A. Even if he had been it would have been weird to write D.A. in a yearbook message.
7. The restaurant where she worked was Old Hickory House. It was never spelled Olde Hickory House as it was in the yearbook. If it were written by Moore he would have known that. If it were written years later Nelson might have forgotten. If someone else had forged it, they might not have known.
What happened was someone named Ray signed her yearbook. At a later time Moore, D.A., 12-22-77 and Olde Hickory House were added by someone else.
looks like Roy to me
