Roy Norman
Arriving home after 30 years of Service
Civilian Norman at Savannah, GA Laboratory
After the service, Norman
received honors in chemistry at
Brunswick College, then worked
for a couple of different companies
in jobs that combined his backgrounds in electronics, chemistry,
and maritime knowledge.
Today, he’s fully retired,
“mainly because of health reasons.
I’m almost 80 now and I’ve had two
brain tumor operations and I seem
to be functioning all right, except
for my legs — arthritis in the
knees.”
Two brain tumor operations?
Could they be related to ...
staff — Admiral McCain, the father of the now Senator
McCain. I was on Admiral McCain’s staff as an electronics
warfare officer for four years.
“Afterward, since I only had about a year and a half to
do, they transferred me back down to the Brunswick Naval
Air Technical Center in Georgia and I spent my last year
and a half here. I retired on the last day of January, 1972.”
Norman retired with the rank of lieutenant commander.
“I’ve now been retired for 32 years, plus.”
“No sir. I asked the doctor about that and he said, no,
he didn’t think so. They were non-cancerous-type brain
tumors.”
But that’s in the past. At 80, Roy Norman is able to
look back at a life in technology and say it was not a bad
one at that.
