Unsung Heroes #108

For more than 40 years, Baker Graphics has served Westporters with grace, smiles and skill.

What they do has changed — back in the day, copying was a chore best left to professionals, and business cards are going the way of the mimeograph machine — but they always adapt.

Catalogs, brochures, folders, flyers, forms, inserts, posters, signs — if it involves printing, graphic design or packing, they’re your go-to guys and gals.

Alert “06880” reader — and longtime satisfied customer — Ann Chernow thinks they deserve a special, Unsung Heroes shoutout.

“They help in every way possible,” she says. “They go out of their way to find just the right kind of paper or materials, with consistent good humor, knowledge of their craft, patience and assistance in many unusual ways.”

They’re particularly good, she says, with customers who have only a vague — or no — idea of what they want. Which, of course, is most of us.

The other day, Baker Graphics did something unheard of for a print and design company: They made a house call to Ann.

Special delivery, from Richard Baker.

Delivering pizza is one thing. Delivering a print job is on another plane entirely.

So to Marita and Richard Baker, and all their cast and crew, present and past — congratulations! You are our well-deserved Unsung Heroes of the week.
