Since the U.S. was at war with Italy and Germany, it was difficult for an Italian-American to get a job; such were the prejudices of the time. College dreams for John were precluded by the Great Depression and he ended up in an insurance company in New York City making $75 a month. The unemployed rioted outside the office windows and he would see the \"poor souls\" from his 14th floor vantage point. Realizing there must be more to life than pushing paper, John quit his job in 1934 and hitchhiked from the east to the west coast, riding trains, getting shot at by railroad detectives who guarded the railways' interests from free riders and working odd job to support his journey. His adventures are chronicled in his book \"A Walk to Somewhere On the Road During the Great Depression\", he also wrote a second book \"Life After Edna: Surviving Grief.\" Returning to New York after a year on the road, he met and married Edna Rizzo of the Bronx who died in 1986, after 46 years of marriage. John worked at odd jobs until he was hired by Dastrum Electric in Poughkeepsie, NY. He became comptroller of the company and moved his family to La Jolla to start a computer division. He also ran a company in Switzerland before he retired. After Edna died, John lived with his domestic partner Kathryn Miller in Hawaii and Santa Rosa."},{"label":"Find e-Books by This Author","value":"View <a href='https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?adv_all=%22Palmer%2C%John A.%22|AND&searchtypes=Full%20text|Metadata&filter_190=Sonoma%20County%20Local%20Author%20and%20Visual%20Artist%20Works&applyState=true'>e-books</a> by John A.
