[HCARC] Norman Rigsby K5LYO

[Gale Heise]

Bill-

  I was in the barber shop prior to June 6th when Norman came in for a haircut.  He was telling us about the trip he was about to take to Normandy and receive another medal.

  He told us about Hermann Goring and the Nuremberg Trials.  Jokingly, I asked him if he was the fellow who gave Hermann Goring the poison.

  He is a delight to be around.  I encourage others to stop by and listen to his stories.  It reminded me of Forrest Gump.  Amazing how one person experienced such an interesting part of history.  He has a fantastic memory, very sharp.

Norman Rigsby (K5LYO) Just moved to Alpine Terrace in Kerrville

Norman has been a Ham Radio Operator since 1947 and is a D Day 
Survivor..   After D Day he was one of General Paton's Motorcycle Scouts 
in the battle of the Bulge.   Finally he was one of the MPs at the 
Nuremberg Trials.   I attached a couple of links to pictures.  The 
second picture shows Norman to the far LEFT of General Hermann Göring

to visit him he's at:

... but hurry he might be moving in with his daughter in Houston.
