Coming of Age

Funny thing about aging. Few people feel completely comfortable talking about it. Yet, it's inevitable. From beatnicks to sputnik, rock and roll and radicalism, this group is now experiencing a new coming of age. Join us for our new weekly series of audio, and web portraits on Coming of Age.

This Week's Audio Slide Show


William Baker

William Baker is more familiar with a prison cell than with a home. He's lived the chaotic life of a drug dealer and addict for so long, that with sobriety, he had to relearn how to use his time in a productive way. Now in his fifties, Baker has made a commitment to helping others on the road to recovery and is using art as one of his tools. Aside from his day job he's studying for a bachelor's degree in psychology.
