Would like to hear from others as to what will happen with Kodak. I read an article the other day that stated George (think it was George) Eastman actually committed suicide.

"In his final two years, Eastman was in intense pain, caused by a degenerative disorder affecting his spine. He had trouble standing and his walking became a slow shuffle. Today it might be diagnosed as lumbar spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal caused by calcification in the vertebrae. Eastman grew depressed, as he had seen his mother spend the last two years of her life in a wheelchair from the same condition. On March 14, 1932, Eastman died by suicide with a single gunshot to the heart, leaving a note which read, "To my friends, my work is done. Why wait?" It is a local myth that George Eastman's body, which was buried in Kodak Park against his personal wishes, is still preserved due to the amount of Kodak chemicals in the ground."
