Scottsdale World War II vet, 95, starts 'fifth career' as children's book author

Scottsdale resident Sam Baker remembers people coming to his house during the Great Depression asking for help. His mother never turned down anyone. 

"I always had this feeling that love could solve a lot of problems in the world," the 95-year-old said. 

As Baker begins what he describes as his "fifth career" as a children's author, he hopes to share that feeling about love with a new, young audience. 

"Age doesn't have anything to do with it," said Baker, who turns 96 in August. "It is enjoyable to write and it is fun to see the final product."
