Paul is/was an old family friend from when we moved to Lake Oswego in 1953. Last time I saw him was in 1999 when I cleaned out 99% of what I had in storage in LO, including all my guns. Gave the entire package to Paul to pass on to one of his grandsons who was short of hunting stuff.
Great guy!!

Paul Herman Marshall
For those that might be interested, I wanted to pass along news of Paul Marshall's recent passing, as well as a copy of his obituary which appeared in the Portland Oregonian. Marshall spent almost a year as a POW following the fall of Corregidor and rose to a high level of command responsibility as one of the American Guerrillas of Mindanao. As one of the main characters in my book on the POW escape from Davao Penal Colony in 1943, he was a great help to me in my research and an all-around outstanding human being.

MARSHALL, PAUL HERMAN 1917 - 2006. Paul Marshall died March 10 in Boise, Idaho. He was born June 27, 1917, in McCune, Kan., to Loy Curtis Marshall and Eva Elizabeth Stewart.
Paul was self-reliant early in life, working on the small family farm, and in grocery stores owned by his uncle. He graduated with honors from Pueblo Central High in 1935 and worked to support his family until entering the U.S. Army in 1941.
The Army stationed Paul on Corregidor Island, which guarded Manila Bay, in the Philippines. Following the fall of Corregidor, he was moved between POW camps until he escaped in April 1943.
Declining offers to evacuate the Philippines, he remained with a few others to help organize and lead guerrilla forces in combat and establish civil order in Surigao Province, Mindanao Island.
By war's end, as Lieutenant Colonel, he commanded the 110th Division which ultimately controlled most of Mindanao.
His leadership and courage led to many awards including the Legion of Merit, multiple Silver and Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart, and awards from the Republic of the Philippines, including a Presidential Citation.
Paul served in the Army Reserve until 1963, and helped craft POW Survival, Evasion, Resistance, & Escape training as recently as 1996.
He was an active member and past president of the American Guerrillas of Mindanao, and belonged to the American Ex-POWs. He was very proud of this country.
He married Frances Ardelle Johnson, in Pueblo, Colo., on Nov. 16, 1945. They were inseparable friends until Paul's death.
They had three sons and moved to Lake Oswego in 1951. Paul worked in the wholesale and retail meat industry most of his professional life, and in the real estate industry until reaching age 75.
Paul belonged to the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Al Kadar Shriners, and the Elks, where he spent many good days with friends.
He was active in the Lake Grove Presbyterian Church for many years, and se
