Obituary of Jessie Palmer Lucas's father.
SOLDIER-EDITOR IS DEAD.
W. D. PALMER EXPIRES IN VETERANS' HOME.
Ex-Portland Man, Once Manager or Telegram, Lived Here Until Few Years Ago.
Willis D. Palmer, 81, early-day manager of the Portland Telegram and a veteran of the civil war, died April 19 in the old soldiers' home at Sawtelle, Cal., according to word received by friends here. He lived in Portland from the '70s until seven or eight years ago and had a wide acquaintance among the old-time residents.
As a boy of 14 in Minnesota, he joined a Union army company as drummer. He went through the entire war, and while here continued his drumming as a member of the G. A. R. fife and drum corps.
He was manager of the Telegram in 1879-80 and for the next three years of the Oregon Newspaper Publishing company. The next decade or so of his life was spent in the real estate, insurance and catering business. In 1895 he became associated with the Giles Mercantile agency. Later he was with Bradstreet's. During 1905 he was in the church and school supply business for himself and later was with the Oregon Trust and Savings bank. From 1907 to 1920 he lived in Sellwood, engaged mostly in the insurance business. He left here to enter the soldiers' home at Sawtelle. Mr. Palmer was a Congregationalist.

Our guide for this market tour was Juan Monteil of El Quetzal. Juan is a great guy, so friendly and warm, and happy to share his knowledge. Juan's generosity in sharing his time was underscored by the fact that in addition to having a restaurant, catering business and a family, he's also available for hire as a clown!

The 'fruits of my labor' on this Labor Day - and before you dismiss 'my labor', know that 1) shrimp needed to be cleaned and deveined with tails left on, 2) ingredients needed to be gathered, and 3) all needed to be blended and allowed to marinate for the day, before grilling and eating! :)
Recipe is simply called Spicy Grilled Shrimp from Susan Belsinger and Carolyn Dille's The Garlic Book. The note next the recipe reads, "During the years we owned a catering business between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., this was one of our most popular dishes. Because of our experience there, we are reluctant to say how many the recipe serves. We could put it this way: six to eight ordinary people, three or four shrimp lovers, or one or two Congressional aides...." Naples, FL
