Mr. Baker was extremely kind and generous, and completely supportive of everything Bob was doing. I had no idea at that time how extensive the range of Baker's influence. Bob always spoke of him with such reverence, love and respect. Nearly thirty years later, another of Baker's students, Michael Hart, spoke of him with the same reverence and love. I am grateful to have had those brief few days of knowing him.
