Nothing strange about it at all. Sometime over the 40 intervening years something may have been spilled on the words that turned from black to blue.Strangely, “To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, ‘Merry Christmas.’ Love, Roy,” is written in black ink, while “Moore DA, 12-22-77, Olde Hickory House,” is in blue ink.
Just from reading that much it looks like "Moore DA" the date and the restaurant, could have been added some time later by the yearbook's owner as a caption to recall the origin of the signature in later years.
Which isn't unusual at all --- my grandmother did this with all her photos. I thought it was overly fussy, until decades went by and she was no longer around and somebody would wonder, "who's this in the photo?" and then we'd know.
There's no official protocol for signing a yearbook and contrary to FingerBoy's fantasies that he can't justify, it's not a legal document.
That alone makes it worthless as evidence, especially the D.A. part. He wasn't the D.A. at the time.
There's also no "protocol" for forging someone's signature.
