Bobby Wayne Fry was
from Hollister, Oklahoma. His
date of birth is unknown, but he graduated from
Hollister High School in 1943. In December, 1944
he enlisted in the Merchant Marines. He trained
in St. Petersburg, Fla. and Charleston, S.C. He
later served in the Marshalls Islands, Panama,
Cuba, Scotland, and Belgium; Bobby was in
Belgium most likely with his ship which supplied
Europe after the war was over. It is thought his
ship, which is unknown at this time, was docked
in the port of Antwerp.
