Monrovia News-Post staffers in 1987. From left, Editor and Associate Publisher Dick Singer, Advertising Representative Claudia Olson, and reporters Luis Zaragosa and Marylee Reyes. Dick Singer, is, of course, the author of several books on Monrovia history that are available at Charlie's House on Myrtle. Also, though I'm not in this picture, I (Brad) also worked as a reporter with this team, but for the News-Post's sister newspaper, the Arcadia Tribune. From the Dick Singer collection. See full details here.

When I was at the News-Post in 1981-83, there was just the one news reporter: me. Helen Schrader was the chain-smoking editor and columnist. Sheila (McBratney) Thompson, the social editor who grew up in Monrovia, knew where all the bodies were buried. The old office on North First Street in Arcadia is now a beauty salon, I believe.
