About-Baker: I was there during the burning of the auditorium, and the riots of 71 and 72 when Baker was on CBS Walter Cronkite one night. I was in an army family and we were transferred to Germany, where I graduated from Frankfurt American High School. I always felt saddened that I missed graduation with my class at Baker.
After-Baker: After Germany, I came back to Columbus, got married to a BHS '75 graduate and went into the army. I was an MP at Benning the entire 3 years. Left again for Starke, FL worked at FL State Prison for 3 years on Death Row with Ted Bundy, (quite interesting). Came back and went to Columbus Tech and got a certificate in AC/Heating/Refrigeration and have been in sales in the Atlanta area ever since. I am a grandfather of a wonderful little boy who lives in Columbus. That gets me home from time to time.
