I miss Huell Howser!
He was California's gold!

[DerGlaetze]

I have lived in Glendora for over 40 years. And before that, Azusa for 20 years. My uncle Jack was a supervisor for the Azusa school district and helped Mike build his castle with some equipment and labor. Because of this, I was given a personal tour, years later, with my two young daughters by Mike Rubel himself. I miss him. A lot of people don’t know that the Rubel family donated many acres of land to the Glendora school district for the nearby Goddard Middle School, during the 1960s. God bless the Rubel family.

As a high schooler, I worked summer of 1976 helping build the castle. Great memories. Miss Michael.

I sure miss you Houser he was my Thursday night date every week! He was a one in a million! May he rest in peace

Huell's shows should be required viewing by students across the nation. Its not so much a 'California' thing as a 'human' thing. Wonderful to see how decent people do wonderful works.

This guys story of a kid and his friends building immense forts next to a dump to building a castle is hilarious and amazing all at the same time. Every town in America needs a kid like this to come along each generation.

ONE of the beautiful things in Glendora.
Thank ya Rubel family and ALL of the volunteers who keep the Castle running

[michellecalling]

Five of the most magical years of my life were living in the castle with Mike...
enchanted by both the castle and Mike's stories.

I grew up a few miles away from the castle and always wanted to see inside the “house”, thanks for sharing. Also, I too really miss Huell, he was true California Gold, your truly missed RIP. No disrespect but odd to hear “look at this Cameron” instead of “look at this Louie”.

Michael and my Father worked together for the Glendora School District as bus drivers and were very good friends. I spent countless hours there, helping to work on various projects.
Michael is sorely missed.

I have never been to Pinks. I will definitely be getting the Huell Dog! What an honor. I love this episode!! 🩷

My buddy in Tehachapi HS wrestling invented a move called the Huell Howser. Its a modified hay maker from the starting position. Touching lives to this day. Thats a Legacy.

[tuskedbeast]

So cool! The man seems fascinating; I'd like to know more about his life.

[davidmack]

I lived and grew up in glendora from 1961 to 1984...I always heard about the castle, never went to it...even though I lived a few miles from it....I need to visit this place and take a tour.

I’ve worked in Glendora for past ten years and have come across some historical items from local coworkers. But I’ve never visited this place. Thanks Huell!!!
