Notes:

Dr. David S. Palmer, DMD, FACP
 Born in Skowhegan, Maine, Dr. Palmer has come back home after a very enjoyable and satisfying military career. The Doc is a constant student, learning not only the newest advances in his specialty and dentistry in general, but also learning in other areas. He is a student of language, currently actively studying Arabic, and a student of music, studying guitar.
 He is a technology nut and does much of the computer work in his office. Ask him anything about computer hardware. Check out his curriculum vitae for the professional credentials, but ask Linda about anything else! His dog is Jack, and he is Papa to the World’s Most Beautiful Grandchildren. He always has coffee available for friends! Sometimes, if you promise to floss, there are donuts, too!
 Come in and meet us all. My staff are the real treasures in the office, each one a gem!

Greetings to all, from Maine! Not that I want to appear old, but my first amateur radio license was dated 1959, and was KN1SIW. Over the years since, my call has been K1SIW, KA1GGD, KA1GGD/PA in the Netherlands, KB1ZV, and again, after a long absence from radio, K1SIW. For most of my adult life I was in the U.S. Air Force, first enlisted, but I was fortunate enough to retire as a colonel. Linda, my wife of 35 years, and I have travelled much of the world. We can carry on a conversation in Greek and Dutch, from having lived in both countries. Back now where I grew up, I am practicing in the Portland, Maine area. Linda runs our office (she’s an RN, with extensive business experience). Both our kids are married, and we are grandparents to the World’s Three Most Beautiful Grandchildren. Oh, and I’m a guitar player and collector (Schecters rule) and a reformed Corvette addict. (source: eBay)

We are retiring!
Greetings, and thank you for having trusted me to provide your oral health care. Many of you have been told, at your last visit to my office, that Linda and I are retiring. It’s true -- and it’s time. As of 1 June 2013, or June 1st, 2013 for you civilians, I will cease the practice of dentistry here in Maine. We are moving to be closer to our grandchildren, while we are still young enough to thoroughly enjoy playing with them. But, Linda and I have not forgotten about you!
 Hopefully, you will be delighted at what I have prepared for you. I have transferred your dental record, including all xray images, to a dental school friend I’ve known over 30 years. Many of you have seen the gold crown he did for me when we both were dental students. That crown has lasted over three times the national average, and still is strong. This doctor is the one who has been covering for me when I went away to visit family or whatever, for the last ten years. Although I went to dental school after several years in the Air Force, this doctor went directly after undergraduate college, so he is considerably younger than I am.

David married Linda Dian McCOY on 27 Nov 1971 in San Antonio, Bexar, Texas. Linda was born on 8 Apr 1950 in Ozark, Christian, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Linda is a Registered Nurse. Born and raised in the Ozark region of Missouri, Linda met Dr. (then 1LT in the Air Force) Palmer in San Antonio, where, eight months later, they were married. Leaving shortly after that for Lieutenant Palmer’s assignment in Greece, Linda started a 39-year journey around the world. Since the start of that journey, Linda has been all through Europe, has lived in both Greece and the Netherlands, and has traveled extensively, making friends around the world. What makes her heart beat fast, now, is her three grandchildren, Zachary and Aiden (from son Christian and his wife Kristin), and Quinn Olivia (from daughter Whitney and husband Patrick). Linda’s travels now pretty much are to be with her grandkids. Linda reads so many books that Dr. Palmer can not even keep up with the titles. She is an amazing cook, and enjoys cooking for friends. She has mostly lost her southern drawl, which Dr. Palmer loved to hear, and now speaks “Yankee” like a native (source).
