Arnold Palmer had a tremendous reputation for character and honesty. One story I heard - a young man came to the Palmer's house because he had a date with his daughter. Mr. Palmer offered to let him use his own large Cadillac because it would be safer than the young man's small car. Palmer was a legend in western Pa.
