William Baker


I didn't date very much in high school - but I'll never forget the great time I had with Bill Baker. He took me to the ZOO. He seemed to know a lot about the animals and as we walked along he annotated a whole litany of information about their habits and characteristics. I was impressed. There was one animal I had never heard of before. He pronounced it - a Feeding Sha-doo-lee. It looked a lot like a giraffe to me but I figured he knew more than I did. Further down the path I glimpsed a portion of a zoo sign. Seeing just a glimpse of the writing, I blurted out, "hey Bill, is that gorilla-looking animal another Feeding She-doo-lee? " Sure enough, as we got closer to the sign, it was evident that rather than Feeding She-doo-lee, the sign spelled out "Feeding Schedule" To this day, I hunt with glee for more Feeding She-doo-lees and think again about the wonderful funny time I had with Bill Baker. Thanks Bill.
