Hometown boy finds his roots back in Palmyra
There was a time when Palmyra native John Casparro thought his path would lead him to Wall Street. These days, you are more likely to find Casparro improving Palmyra’s main thoroughfare, Broad Street, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I have always loved Palmyra,” Casparro said. “It’s part of who I am.” Having grown up in Palmyra, Casparro has fond childhood memories of purchasing baseball cards and working at the local pharmacy in town. Today, he is making new memories in his hometown with his expectant wife and daughter.
