PATRICE TOENSING, D.C. (MAIN, ’57) AND ALWIN TOENSING, D.C. (MAIN, ’56)


MEMORIES OF B.J. AND


DR. DAVE Alumni share their favorite memories of two of the most important figures in Palmer history


My husband, Alwin Toensing, D.C., and I met when we were students at Palmer School of Chiropractic. We became engaged and planned to be married in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1957. Instead, I applied to the NBC show “Bride and Groom.” The application was accepted. On October 22, 1957, we were mar- ried on the program in New York City with millions of people watching. Among them were the majority of Palmer’s campus community. B.J. Palmer closed the entire campus to allow the 1,200 students, faculty and staff to attend the wedding or watch from the school cafeteria. Some of those who were in attendance are considered legends in the profession. We received many special mementos for our wedding, including a congratulatory telegram from B.J. Palmer that read, “Sorry I missed your wedding, but I’m looking forward to the marriage of two great chiro- practic families.” We also received green books signed by Dr. Dave Palmer.
