"Buck Baker was the product of a time that has passed; unique, complex and hard to understand. What he did, be it right or wrong, he did it without guile or hypocrisy. You could take it or leave it. He was not greatly concerned about what others thought. With his natural ability and power of organization, it is hard to forecast what heights he might have reached with a fine education and a different environment. Anyway, he left his impress upon the City of Dothan as no other has ever done with the possible exception of Jim Young (namesake of Young Junior High School)." by RAMBLIN' REUBEN (E.C. Porter) in the August 12, 1930 DOTHAN EAGLE
