From the BibTeX documentation (btxdoc.pdf, p. 15/16):

Each name consists of four parts: First, von, Last, and Jr;

BibTeX allows three possible forms for the name:

"First von Last"
"von Last, First"
"von Last, Jr, First"

You want to treat "Catherine de Palo" as First and "Drid" as Last, since abbreviating names is only done in First. In that case I would use

author = {Drid, Catherine {de} Palo}

where the braces around "de" tell BibTeX to not alter that token.
