Lost and Found: Lessons from Life

by John H. Baker

John Baker charms, delights, and, most importantly, makes us think about what we can learn from our own lives in his collection of personal stories spanning more than seven decades. Lost and Found follows Baker from his first few years of life in North Dakota to his many years in Oregon, from cannery worker to college student to consultant, sharing the wit and wisdom gained along the way. Baker is so open to new experiences, to learning from everyone around him, that his observations are always insightful, sometimes tragic, and often humorous, reminding us that our unique life experiences share commonalities that bind us all together. Whether Baker is thawing out his frozen childhood pet buried in a winter snow bank, mourning the loss of an ant farm, or guiding his high school students through a Shakespeare production, he is always learning. We are lucky that he allows us to learn, and laugh, along with him with the publication of this uplifting gem of a book. -Nancy Steinberg – Freelance Writer
