Richard was born Sept. 22, 1939, in Stephenville to Charles and Helen Baker. He was moved to White Settlement in 1943. There he was raised and educated, graduating from Brewer High School in 1958. After graduating he went to work for Stationer's Distribution Co., planning for the job to be temporary until he could get hired at the "bomber plant," now Lockheed.
