Gumb is my alter ego I guess...
Ours was a business relationship. She and her husband, Mark Fairbanks, own FBX, and turn a bunch of the air carriers in Kotzebue. She and I butted heads a lot over how my cargo was handled, and how hard her crews worked to have stuff ready for flights. Sitting on the ground waiting for a crew to show up sober and ready to work didn't make me any money.
But, the Bakers are a hard charging family, and John's Dad was one of the pioneer bush pilots in the Arctic. The airport in Kiana is named after him.
