went to Mexico as an inspector with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Mexican
American Commission for the Eradication of Foot and Mouth Disease. The program sent
bilingual inspectors and veterinarians into Mexican cattle farms to teach ranchers about
how to eradicate the disease. He traveled on horseback with vaccination teams,
local cowboys and Mexican soldiers throughout central Mexico. Through their efforts the
disease was eradicated. It was at one of these cattle ranches where he met his wife,
Diana. Her uncle ran a ranch near Taxco and Diana spent the summers there riding horses.
Baca fell in love with Diana and the couple later married
in Mexico City. The Bacas
lived in Mexico City briefly and then moved to Las Cruces,
NM where Baca earned a
degree from New Mexico State University. Baca took a job
with the United Fruit
in the Dominican Republic in the mid 1950's. From there he
took a job as plant
manager with Ralston Purina in Maracay, Venezuela. His
daughter, Nancy was born while the Bacas were in Venezuela. The family
moved to Albuquerque in 1962. Baca went to work for the Forest Service, in
the Cibola National Forest. He worked his way up to Forest engineer for the Cibola. He
retired in 1982. Baca enjoyed his time with the Forest Service, especially when he was
called out to forest fires in New Mexico and surrounding states. In his retirement, Baca
pursued his dream of being a gentlemen farmer. He revitalized his family farm in Santa
Rosa, planting acres of apple trees and alfalfa and starting a grape vineyard. He joined
the New Mexico Apple Council and served on Santa Rosa's Soil Conservation board. His
grapes were used by several New Mexico wineries including La Chiripada and Madison.
For his work in Santa Rosa, Baca was named Farmer of the year for Guadalupe
County twice. Baca also served on the Santa Rosa Hospital Board in the early 1990s.
He was also active in Los Aftosas, a group of inspectors and veterinarians who
