His entire immediate family was there, as well as many relatives, neighbors and long-time friends, some who came from afar for the party. Norbert was born on Big Foot Road July 18, 1931, and grew up farming with his parents, Emmett and Evelyn Palmer, and then farmed with his wife of 59 years, Nola (nee Enyart).
