This commemorative plate was gifted to me when I was born. It is one of my most treasured possessions, and also my most personal Covina collectible. Except for my years away at college, it has been on display in a place of honor everywhere I've dwelt my whole life, and as such, it's an everyday reminder of my ultimate roots in the town of my birth.
2024 was a year of difficult losses for me, but in the end, I decided I should not add to those losses by killing off the one thing I love that I have the power to keep alive. So I will resume posting here, even though doing so carries with it neither reward nor recognition. It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it!

I'll be checking back. i grew up in Covina from 1960 through 1970's and parents still lived there for awhile. Interesting to be able to come here and read some history.
Missing your presence, my friend! I hope you’re well and that we can all look forward to seeing some new content soon. Thank you, again, for all that you’ve done over the last few years. Your insight and love of this community is unmatched. Thank you again. Very grateful.
