Elden Baker:  

eldenbaker at Yah00 dot com I'm also on Faceb00k 30+ years in a couple of paragraphs; well, here goes... After high school, I went to Montcalm Community College for a year and studied Aviation Maintenance (I worked at Bishop Airport as an A&P mechanic during my junior and senior year). Then, in June 1978, I enlisted in the Navy. During my 20-years of service in the Navy, I completed 3 extended deployments on aircraft carriers (USS Enterprise 1982-83, USS Constellation 1984-86 and, USS Carl Vinson 1990-94) and did a tour of duty in the first Gulf War. I retired from the Navy in 1998 and spent the next eight years traveling throughout the world teaching flight attendants and aircraft mechanics how to operate and maintain "In-Flight Entertainment" systems.

I am married to Connie (the good looking one in my profile picture) and have 5 children: Anthoney (also a US Navy veteran with 1 tour in Afghanistan and 2 tours in Iraq), Mellaney, Meggan (a US Army veteran), Catheryne and, Vanessa. I also have 5 grandchildren. I would like to ask you a very important question. If you were to take your last breath on earth right now (and someday you will), do you know where you will spend eternity? Many people think they have to be good enough to get into Heaven; not break any of the "Ten Commandments." There are two problems with this way of thinking: First, if you are honest with yourself, can you really say you've NEVER broken any of the commandments? Really? You've never take...Expand for more
