Brent Ray Baker
Class of 1957
Army, 4 Years
My Friend Brent Baker served in Viet Nam. He graduated from Colo. State Univ. which is best known for their
veterinarian school. Due to "battlefield" conditions he performed many life-saving procedures in the field. He started his own Vet practice in Sunnyslope, AZ and later in Cave Creek, AZ. At the time I was a loan officer with Valley National Bank and provided funds for his new practice. He was quite a craftsman and did most of the construction improvements for his first new office which was located in Sunnyslope, AZ/. Later, of course, he re-located to Cave Creek, AZ where he established himself as the primary Veterinarian for that entire area.
