Gibbs L. Baker ’31

Body

KNOWN IN COLLEGE by his first name to distinguish him from Bill Baker, known affectionately by all as "Little Bake," Gibbs died in Sarasota, Feb. 26, 1991. After college he went, as did many of our Class, to Harvard law School. He lived for a time in Washington, D.C., where he was with the State Dept. After serving in the Navy, Gibbs set up his own law office and then moved to Siesta Key, near Sarasota. He was a trustee or director of several foundations and served as '31 representative while in Washington. To his widow, Sheila, and their family, we extend our sympathy.
