Introduction

The PALMER PRESS began in 1986 and included a few small vignettes of the stories our Dad (Rud Palmer) told us of his childhood. It was written for the Palmer Reunion we were hosting at the old Palmer Ranch in Park Valley, Utah. It was a little newsletter we passed out to the family to read during the Chuck Wagon Breakfast.

Many asked that I write more, including cousin Lane Palmer who attended from Philadelphia, PA, where he had just retired as the editor of the FARM JOURNAL MAGAZINE. Through the years I have requested help and the cousins have shared stories of our grandparents, James and Elizabeth Palmer as well as their parents, uncles and aunts. Digital copies of the Palmer Press can be found at the right side of this page.

With the help of our children, we have produced a video, OUR PALMER LEGACY (1995) and a DVD, REFLECTIONS OF OUR ENGLISH HERITAGE (2008) which have been dispensed to family members.
