By the time (we were
ready to sell the
property), there were
houses being built all
around, and I didn't
want to see anymore
development.
Warfield felt the same
way I did. We had
plenty of chances to
sell, and developers
wanted to give us a lot more money than
Palmer Trinity. But we decided we'd rather
sell it to Palmer Trinity School. We wanted
the land to be used for education.

First graduating class
Palmer was not merely a job; it was a life experience. I am
proud to say that many of the young scholar athletes of that
day are now viable contributors to our society. I am very proud
of their accomplishments. Over the years, many of these young
people have demonstrated a true love for their time at Palmer.
I am humbled to believe that my staff and I were able to help
shape the lives of these young people, and we are all blessed
to be a part of the family that is Palmer School.
