Roy worked as a special librarian for a variety of government agencies. He worked for the state at the Ferry Bldg, for the Navy and the Army and then for the US Department of Defense at what was then known as the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley. One of his most famous customers was Luis Alvarez who was designated as a Nobel Laureate in 1968. Partially due to Roy’s excellent librarian skills.
