Wilbur Lee Parker grew up in Portland. He majored in liberal arts at Reed with concentrations in history and mathematics, staying a year longer as a graduate assistant in economics and the statistics lab (1937). He was influenced by Frank Loxley Griffin and Reginald Francis Arragon, and remembers the class he took with visiting professor Kurt von Fritz. He describes the faculty Gilbert & Sullivan production of "Pirates of Penzance". After Reed, he worked for the federal government and enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II. His daughter, Ann Parker Littlewood, graduated from Reed College in 1968, as did his son-in-law, Lee C. Littlewood.
