He Likes What He Does: George Thomas is one of those lucky individuals who really likes what he's doings, or so the 84-year-old baker who comes regularly to the Farmers' Market says. Thomas, who sells such things as white and raisin bread, apple and peach turnovers and sweet potato pies, turned professional baker four years ago after working many years for the railroads, in a cola mine and driving a truck. He prefers baking, he said, because "when you like to do something it isn't. a burden to work. This is something I like to do." As his own boss, he also doesn't have to "watch the clock."
