ith a degree in English from Cal Poly, Pomona, and as freelance automotive journalist with an extensive appreciation for American history, it seemed only natural for Ryan Lee Price to author a postcard book on Glendora.
A 1991 graduate of Glendora High School, Price grew up in Glendora immersed in community involvement from Glendora's youth soccer league and the Boy Scouts to high school clubs, sports and other city functions. Recently, he was elected Vice President of the Glendora Historical Society. He volunteers time in the museum digitizing the photo archives and helping with the cataloging of its artifacts. In addition to his newly released book, Price contributes regularly to a blog that focuses on Glendora's rich history (http://glendorahistory.blogspot.com/).
The book features numerous unseen and previously unpublished vintage postcards from public and private collections. It shows Glendora's progression and the handful of buildings and landmarks that still exist today. Postcards play a large role in determining what life was like at a certain time; postcards have helped map Glendora from its beginning through today.
When not writing about cars or Glendora, Price enjoys restoring old Volkswagens, including his 1971 Super Beetle his father gave him when he was just 15-years old. Price was the editor of a magazine about classic Volkswagens and has written two books on its history. He is presently pursuing an architectural degree. Price currently lives in Corona, Ca. with his wife, Kara. He is a stay-at-home dad to their two children, Natalie (4) and Matthew (2), and their German Shepherd, Elsa.

A slender strip of grazing green,
With borders of cactus and sage,
Studded with oaks, sturdy and serene,
Neath which rested in turn
The nimble jacks, the sly coyotes
And quiet Nature's feathered friends.
EARLY SOCIAL LIFE:

ocial life within our boundaries; had always been abundant. In the earlier days the homes were the center of interest and it was in them that friends, both young and old, would gather for their various activities. Distances were greater by miles than today, but that did not deter them when pleasure-bound. The horses were tireless and patient, and the wagons and buggies sound and safe. One of these, a fine new spring wagon, was purchased by John Bender, enjoyed by him a few times when an ardent swain desiring to impress the lady of his heart, begged the loan of it. The loan was gladly granted and bore fruit of many loans, for the spring wagon never returned to its owner, but was
