A Request for Information - please link!

Please link to this post, pass it on, tell people about it - this is a very long shot, but I think the more people it reaches, the better chance we have of succeeding. Here's the story, very briefly:
My Dad was talking about his experience in the Navy in Hutchinson, Kansas, during WWII. He was in the medical corps, and had a good friend called Johnny Hansen (not sure of the spelling of the last name). Dad played organ for Johnny's wedding - this would probably have been in 1945. My Dad is Gerard Johnson, and his friends call him Gerry. If anyone knows a Johnny Hansen or Hanson who was in the Navy and stationed in Hutchinson during WWII, please have them contact me! I know this is a long shot, but Dad would love to know what happened to Johnny and his family.

Well, I'm not sure how helpful this would be, but I did find a website for WWII vets (http://ww2.vet.org/). Unfortunately, it's very much a website built in 1997, alas.

...also the Navy, in Kansas? That would not be the branch I would expect to find there. What was your father stationed there for?
