Paul Hector Normand Beaudry (350899)
ENS, USNR AV(N), Date of rank, 1/16/1944
ENS, USNR AV(N), VF-80 USS Ticonderoga (CV-14), 9/1/1944
ENS, USNR A1, VBF-80 USS Ticonderoga (CV-14), 1/10/1945
ENS, USNR A1, VBF-80 USS Hancock (CV-19), 2/17/1945
LTJG, USNR A1, Date of rank, 6/1/1945
LTJG, USNR A1, VBF-75A (AFO) NAS Wildwood, 6/9/1945
LTJG, USNR A1, VBF-75 (AFO) NAS Wildwood, 8/1/1945

Beaudry does not appear on next available VBF-75 roster, 11/1/1945.

Beaudry also does not appear in the 4/1/1949 USNR Register, safe to presume he left active and reserve service with the end or the war.

However, by the spring of 1949 he had earned a Civil Engineering degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and, evidently, immediately re-joins the Navy as he shows up in the 1951 USNR register as a LT, designated as a 5105, with a date of rank of 5/24/1949. The 5105 designation is for a reserve officer of the Civil Engineer Corps. Entry repeats in the 4/1/1953 USNR register, but he is not found in either the 7/1/1955 or 7/1/1959 USNR Registers. He also does not appear in any of the 1954, 1955, 1956 and subsequent USN registers so he did not change from USNR to USN. He does not show up in any of the USN or USNR retired lists. One can conclude that he resigned sometime in the 1953-1955 time period, by far too soon to have been passed over, non-selected, for LCDR. Civil Engineers make a whole lot more as civilians than those in military or other government service. He spent over 25 years with IBM in facility design.

Paul Hector Normand Beaudry died 7/18/2003 in Pleasant Valley, NY.
