Stuart Palmer ’22

Stuart Palmer died Apr. 2, 1995, at his home in Palm Coast, Fla. A next door neighbor, who had enjoyed his company for many years, said that he was anxious to rejoin his wife, Ruth, who died in 1986.

Several members of the class received scrapbooks from Stu over the years that were a compilation of newspaper photographs and headlines with appropriate comments reflecting Stu's thoughts. In his correspondence with your Secretary, Stuart reflected on his life as a teacher on Long Island, where he and Ruth both taught. He retired in 1965, and after Ruth retired several years later, they moved to Sag Harbor on the end of Long Island and then moved to Florida permanently in 1976.

They were active golfers and founded the Palm Harbor Golf Club with several friends and neighbors. Their house was adjacent to the course, and Stuart walked the course almost every day. He had many friends in Palm Coast and was active in civic groups and the First Presbyterian Church. He and Ruth attended many Reunions and class events when they lived in the Northeast.

Stuart is survived by two brothers and a sister and ten nephews and nieces. Although I never met Stuart personally, we had many pleasant conversations, and I enjoyed his letters and my own personal class secretary's scrapbook.
