Man still busy after 6 decades in window-washing business
posted by admin in Window CleaningThe 84-year-old Palman was on the job Tuesday when he was pulled aside while squeegeeing the glass on a building he’s taken care of since 1976. It was Palman’s day to be honored.
Workers in the HRH Northern New England building were joined by city officials, family and friends to celebrate and recognize Palman’s 61 years of washing windows for downtown businesses. They applauded as Palman entered Window Cleaning, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Palman’s father founded a window-washing company in New York City, then moved to Massachusetts and Portland before finally settling in Lewiston. Bill Palman joined his father in Lewiston Window Cleaning in August 1946.
Palman brightens more than the glass he leaves glistening, said Colleen Rioux, head of the insurance company’s bond department, who invited the veteran window washer in for cake and presentation of gifts that included a gold-handled squeegee, Window Cleaning a gold-star patterned bucket and a new L.L. Bean Gore-Tex jacket.
