David Allen has been digging up stories in the Inland Empire for three decades. After starting his career at newspapers in Northern California, he moved south to work in Victorville for the Daily Press in 1994 and then to Ontario for the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, his home since 1997. His popular column covers people, places, government, history and more with a light and humane touch.
Besides the Daily Bulletin, his work appears in print and online in The Press-Enterprise, The Sun, The Redlands Daily Facts, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, and Pasadena Star-News. His work has been collected in five books to date, including his latest, Waving at Strangers. (He'll catch up to 2025 eventually.)
A native of Illinois, David lives in Claremont, which you can consider the gateway to the San Gabriel Valley or to the Inland Empire, depending on your direction of travel.
This is a meeting of the General Membership and a presentation of the Glendora Historical Society hosted by the Glendora Public Library.
