I was born in Denver Colorado in 1939.

Since graduating from the East High School, Denver Colorado, in 1957 I have had varied experiences.

My wife Laura and I have had 4 great children. Laura and I are active leaders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She has recently served as President of the Relief Society. I am currently serving as President of the Sunday School in our Ward. We have each taught youth Sunday School Classes. I am grateful for finding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The insired stories of Joseph Smith and the early saints are applicable to my life today.

Tommy is active with sports, bowling and church activities. He loves to bowl and has been on several Special Olympic basketball teams.

Karen has served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; she served in Lima and Iquitos Peru. Karen graduated from Brigham Young University and earned her Masters at DU. She is working as a family counselor in Jefferson County. Paul attended Western State College where he studied business. He is a very active winter sports person with a specialty in Snow Boarding. He Married Rebecca Chavez and they have a son Kellan who was born 12-27-2008.

Scott attended Mesa State where he studied a general course of humanities. He has played basketball and rugby. He likes contemporary music.

Laura is Registered Nurse and practiced at St Joseph’s Hospital in Denver. She earned her nursing degree from the University of Northern Colorado. I attended The University of Denver studying business and The University of Southern Colorado studying Information Systems Design. While at DU I founded an underground newspaper with 5 other students; we were activists for issues of the day. We were fortunate to have an exclusive interview with Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. We were able to open some doors both on and off campus.

My career highlights were in the role of system analyst and project liaison for software design, development and implementation. Employers included Petro Lewis, The City of Denver, The State of Colorado and AT&T Information Systems.

Highlights include a private audience with my father and Dwight David Eisenhower for an hour. President Eisenhower invited me and my father to attend his inaugurations.

I was fortunate to conduct an interview with Jimmy Steward and his wife in their suite at the Brown Palace Hotel. I have traveled extensively in the US. I sang in the Riverside Church Choir in NYC; and the DU a capella choir; we sang in Carlsbad Caverns in pitch blackness; the sound echoed from many chambers and the bats kept time with their wings.

I have been Sunday School Teacher, Scoutmaster, basketball coach and trip planner for the youth of our ward. I really enjoyed teaching lessons of our youth.

My greatest pride comes from seeing my family members make good choices and share compassionate service to people they encounter. Robert Louis Palmer born 14 Dec 1920 in Parkridge, Illinois, Died 7 Oct 2003 Centennial, Arapahoe, CO
