STEVEN RICHARD PALMER

I was a student at St. Joe from 1st through 8th grade. Although I had spent many days and hours with Mr. Palmer singing in the choir, it was during my time in his seventh grade class that would plant the seed to my desire to become a journalist. I tutor now at a school and we recently had a career day. They asked what made me choose journalism and I said Mr. Palmer. Most homework was dreadful, but Mr. Palmer made us do current events where we clipped (yes clipped) our stories from the evening...

Uncle Steve's music was incredible. We always loved gathering around listening to him. One of our favorite memories is eating pizza and listening to Christmas songs on his guitar at Pokagon St. Park.
