Fourth graders in Mrs. Bucci's class at Pond Cove recently had the exciting opportunity to hear from a special guest speaker, Mr. Roy Maule. Mr. Maule, great grandfather to students Miles Barrett and Molly Hanson, traveled from his home in Plymouth, England to share stories from his remarkable career as a signalman in the Royal Navy.
Enlisting at just 15, Mr. Maule served on a naval destroyer, where he received messages in Morse code and recorded them for the ship's officers. He regaled the students with tales of his daily life aboard the ship and his travels to Japan via the Suez Canal during the Korean War.
The students were captivated by Mr. Maule's stories and even got to try their hand at deciphering Morse code messages. A huge thank you to Mr. Maule for sharing his experiences and making history come alive for the class!
