Comments: I believe this gentleman was in the Navy in 1953 and 1954. He knew my mother Willie M Eastman. My biological father is this gentleman. I do not know where his home town is located. However he was stationed in Hutchinson or Wichita Kansas or at least there for a short time. I recently found George Eastman who is on my birth cert. after 48 years. My mother and him have both given me this gentlemans name. All I want to find out is something about him. I DO not want to create any problems just maybe find out a small part of where and why. God Bless
