James “Jim” Baker

James “Jim” Baker, born July 20, 1947, in Waterville, Maine. He was the son of the late Willard P. and Mary (Hood) Baker. He became a fixture of Gorham, New Hampshire, not long after his birth; a town that would remain his home and an important part of who he was throughout his life.

Jim worked for more than 40 years at the Cascade Mill, retiring after a long career there. But Jim was never defined simply by where he worked. He was happiest around people, especially in the familiar places and among the familiar faces of the town he called home.
