Railroad Phone 426-5315 OO Guamanian recipe winn Shrimp Kalaquin, the Guamanian recipe entered by Andrea Jones, was selected by the Star Bulletin of Honolulu as the best recipe of the year in 1963. Andrea Jones, born and reared in Guam, often served the versatile food as a main dish to her family of five brothers and five sisters. "My mother assigned jobs by the week," Andrea explains. "One week I'd cook; the next, perhaps, I'd clean house; and then, for a week, my job might be laundry." Her brothers worked the farmlands where corn was the chief crop. Cattle were raised commercially, and many fruits were grown. "Guam is green like Washington," Andrea states, "but there are fruit trees rather than evergreens. Oranges, tangerines, avocados and papayas are plentiful, but there are no apples and no strawberries." According to Andrea Jones, the beautiful trees of Guam are dying as a result of the war. "Most of the plant-life was ruined," she says, "and now the tourist trade is spoiling the countryside. Hotels and motels are replacing the farmhouses and tourist attractions are drawing crowds into areas once quiet and peaceful." In 1960 Andrea married Bob Jones, a US Marine. From 1961 to 1962 they were stationed in California, and from there they went to Hawaii for a three year stay. After an additional three years in California, they came, in 1969, to Shelton where Bob Jones owns and operates the Evergreen TV Repairs. Bob and Andrea Jones have three children. Richard, Dianne and Sharon are eight, ten and I 1 years old respectively and all attend Mountain View School. A silver poodle named Puffy is a family pet. Andrea Jones likes to garden and to sew. She is adept in handicrafts, and while in Guam shared her skills as a volunteer instructor for the Office of Industrial Opportunity. In Honolulu she was active in Civil Defense.
