Bob Baldock
Robert "Bob" Lee Baldock (also known as Robert Baldock; born April 30, 1937 in Dayton, Ohio) was one of the few U.S. citizens to participate in the Cuban Revolution as a combatant in Fidel Castro's unit based in the Sierra Maestra in 1958.〔

After being forced out of Black Oak Books, he went to work for KPFA Radio, the first listener-sponsored FM radio in the U.S. For over twenty years he produced public events for KPFA. As a poster artist he created original posters for these events, a number of which are in the collection of Oakland Museum of California. He is also a painter and maker of fine art prints and broadsides.
==In The 26th of July Movement, Cuba==
After graduation from Sewickley High School, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Baldock studied for two years at Ohio University in Athens, (1955–57), receiving military training in the Army ROTC program, which proved significant when Baldock became a combatant in the 26th of July Movement insurgency against Fulgencio Batista led by Fidel Castro in Cuba. He became aware of the Cuban Revolution seeing movie newsreels in Akron, where he was working at a B.F. Goodrich rubber plant in the fall of 1957. He went on to work at the ''New York Herald Tribune'' as a copyboy; there he had privileged access to ticker-tape coverage of the Cuban insurrectionary movement as well as to maps and press passes. With a college friend who knew Spanish he made his way to Havana in the spring of 1958. From Havana the two made their way to the Sierra Maestra, where they became part of Fidel Castro’s group of rebel combatants,〔Photo: Baldock with Castro https://secure.flickr.com/photos/54390584@N03/5036744657/〕〔“Former Castro Follower Now Insurance Man,” ''Columbus Citizen,'' byline Bill Gold, Columbus, Ohio, c. late 1959.〕〔“Los Baldock: una imagen en dos tiempos,” ''Juventud Rebelde,'' 16 February 1992.

Baldock remained in this group for five months until becoming ill with bacillary dysentery. Baldock and his friend were then moved covertly out of the country through an underground network consisting primarily of small Catholic churches. In Miami, hospitalized, he met with a United Press representative to whom he gave the two notebooks of his observations and interviews, consenting for them to be used as needed by UP. These notebooks were subsequently lost.〔“Bob Baldock: A Life on the Left,” Interviewed by Sasha Lilley, ''Against the Grain,'' KPFA Radio, 94.1 FM. http://www.againstthegrain.org/program/513/id/521211/wed-12-28-11-bob-baldock-life-left〕
