Description

Con James Baker lived a life worth living.

As a young man he experienced one of the most gruesome of world wars in Europe. He saw the motorcar replace horses in everyday transportation and saw the rise of science and technology in everyday life. He experienced the Roaring Twenties in Chicago, that great American city, and he rubbed elbows with notorious gangsters at the same time. He survived the Great Depression and supported the troops during the Second World War. His fascination with science and technology led him to develop a skill as a master pressman with which he produced some of the premier publications in the world.

He raised two families and instilled in his sons an interest in science that carried them onward to successful careers in science or technology. He succeeded in all these endeavors but after a long fight, finally succumbed to cancer. This book serves as a partial record of that interesting life.
