  This is very nice of you. Could you look up and see if there is anything on William Palmer on the CD "Portrait and Biographical Record of Portland & Vicinity, Oregon". He was a building contractor, and we've just recently found out that he was active in building the shanghai tunnels in underground Portland.
  Thanks
  Shirley
