He advised that COOMBS was approximately 6' to 6'1", prone to go heavy in weight, served in the U. S. Navy in the early 50's and was stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Station, and apparently spent a great deal of time in Naval Prison as he ended up with a dishonorable discharge. He stated that COOMBS' hair was a dark color and thinning and that he came from Portland, Maine, ori- ginally, and was born in about 1930 or 1931, exact town unknown. He further advised that another trait of COOMBS was that he would "womanize", that is to say he would stay with three or four different women in one night.
