Gary Baker: U.S. Army


GARY BAKER
At Oak Ridge High School, Gary Baker played football.

Shortly after his graduation in 1965, he enlisted in the Army because he had four brothers who served in the military and

there were no jobs available.

Baker served in Vietnam and Thailand, where he provided communications services to B52s.

After his discharge in 1968, he worked at several jobs, eventually spending 45 years at Roane State Community College in the maintenance department.
