Feb-13-16  zanzibar: <Thanks to Dr. Steven Dowd for providing all the below information, for which he made personal research.

Palmer Gunkel Keeney followed in his father's footsteps as both composer and physician. He was a chess prodigy who composed his first problem at age 13. He is not well-known today, but was a very successful chess editor and chess player (two time champion of the state of Ohio) who ran many columns during his career, one of which was the column for the Cincinnati Enquirer, widely regarded as one of the world's best at the time, and his editorial efforts extended into the 1950s, when he was the first problem editor for Chess Life.>
