Thanks, his daugher Darla

Looking for The Father I've Never Known

Keywords: I am trying to locate a William or Bill Baker that served in the Navy about 1950-1951 and was stationed in Bremerton WA. My mother refused to give me any names and after her death my older sister told me that my Fathers name was Bill Baker. When he left Bremerton WA it is my understanding that he went to either Long Beach CA or San Diego CA. My Mother followed him for a few months the she returned to Bremerton Wa where I was born July 22 1953. My mothers name was Anna Davis or Anna Dudack. I would love to hear from anyone that knew this man and possibly where he might live today. I am almost sure that he has no idea that I exist.
