Our Counselors: John Baker
John works with Brian Forrester as a military reunion specialist. He first became involved with military reunions in 1993 when he attended the very first reunion of the newly formed U.S.S. Oklahoma City Association and was elected its president. He has been reelected each year since and has been active in every aspect of the Association including developing its bylaws, writing and producing a historical video about ships named Oklahoma City, conducting fund raisers, and arranging each of the Association’s annual reunions. He has been a police officer, a real estate entrepreneur, and recently retired from the Kansas Department of Corrections. John lives in Winfield, Kansas, where he is active as an oboist in local and regional musical groups.
John is respected in the military reunion industry and is known to be an outstanding planner. He brings much experience and knowledge about the military reunion business. His passion to arrange the best reunion ever is a driving factor in his decision to begin arranging military reunions for other groups.
