"I have been conducting historical research on homes and other sites in the Glendora and Azusa area for over five years. For the past year I have been writing a column for the Glendora Press entitled "Remember When," which provides the history of older homes and landmarks. I have decided to write a book to share this information with you. I hope you enjoy this written and pictorial journey through history as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Our past must not be forgotten. We must "Remember When" our first citizens settled in the San Gabriel Valley. They gave us what we have today, and by preserving the history of our community, we can pass that history onto those who follow us." From introduction by BGobbie Battler.
