lol....Must stop posting before the caffeine kicks in.
Still have the same question.
I still have the same question too. To be clear, my question is: does there exist a photo that doesn’t appear to show two different ink colors. If so, where is it?
It’s an important question and I’ll explain why for anyone who hasn’t had their coffee yet: if one reads only the portion in black, then that Yearbook autograph could have been written by anyone named “Roy” from a classmate to whomever.
Something that strikes me though is, even if it’s all the same ink color, the fact that Moore allegedly signed “D.A.” by his name strikes me as a bit odd. I’m not a lawyer nor play one on the Internet but from what I know of the profession, lawyers don’t sign their names like that, naming their particular field as in “D.A.” or some such. It would be akin to a brain surgeon signing “brain surgeon” next to his name. They may sign “Chief of Neurology” or something like that but typically when medical doctors from whatever specialty sign their name they will simply write “M.D. (unless on some official letterhead where they may also write “Chief of Neurology”, but a yearbook? That’s not official letterhead).
Suffice to say a lawyer from any particular branch of the system will, if anything, write “Esq.” (for “Esquire”) when signing their name by hand. Not “D.A.”. At least from what I know of the profession. Which is again admittedly not much. So I welcome informed correction on this point if it’s called for.
