About Me

My photo
Forest, Virginia, United States
A long time ago, my sophomore English teacher, Father William Campbell, saw something in my writing and predicted that I would someday become a newspaper columnist. He suggested the perfect title for my column--"Leaves of the Palm." Now that I have a little extra time on my hands I've decided to put Father Campbell's prediction to the test. I'm going to start using this blog site not just to reprint opinion pieces I've published elsewhere but to try to get more of my ideas and opinions out there. Feedback is welcome. To find out more about me, please check out my Web site: www.EdwardFPalm.com (Click on any of the photos below for an enlarged view.)

An afterword. In the words of the poet, "What oft [is being] thought, but ne’er so well expressed," regarding the plight of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "This is about much more than immigration or deportation policy. This is about whether we live in a free country, where our rights are protected, or a police state, where none of us are safe." Said by John Favreau, host of CNN’s Pod Save America on April 16.
