Twice Born Ministers: We Are All Ministers
Carl "Tuchy" Palmieri was born in 1942 in an old mansion belonging to the former mill owner of the factory where his father worked.  His family was one of six related families that occupied the mansion.  The second son of Italian immigrants, Carl grew up in Westport, Connecticut.  After receiving a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Bridgeport he began his career marketing and installing accounting computers for the Burroughs Corporation.  Twenty-one years later, in 1987, he started his own computer business.  Carl is also the author of a series of self-help books. Today Carl lives with his wife, Susan, in Fairfield, Connecticut.  He has three children, two stepchildren, and 12 grandchildren.  His nickname, Tuchy, comes from having been one of three Carls in his family.  There was a "Big Carl," a "Carl the Twin," and "Carluch," which meant "Little Carl."  "Carluch" evolved into "Carlatuch," "Tuch," and finally, "Tuchy."
