WWII

My father Dale Dee Palmer, Sr was a larger than life kind of guy, growing up out West in New Mexico as part of a big Mormon family (is there any other kind?) and going to World War II in the Coast Guard for 3 years, then heading to the Northeastern part of the US, to marry my Mom Mary (also a Sr.) who was from Torrington CT.

Both Mom and Dad were born in the summer of 1922, with Mom's Real Birthdate August 14th, though she thought it was the 12th her whole life but I learned two years after she died on June 2nd, 2004 that her birth certificate had her birthdate as August 14th.
