A Home Nestled in a Hidden Garden
Once I stepped through the gate in the tall hedge, I was not surprised to see a peaceful garden surrounding this cozy little home at 30 South Salinas Street. I knew from my research that the home’s first owner, circa 1915, had been a professional gardener. We’ll never know if the present garden was his creation, but it fits perfectly with the home’s history.
Samuel Guy Ridge and his wife, Beatrice, were the first owners of this home. Samuel was from England, although he had been born in South Africa. He worked as a gardener on the estate called Vegamar. If that name does not ring a bell, perhaps you’ve heard of the Child Estate? That was the name more commonly used for the property that is now occupied by the Santa Barbara Zoo, which sits on the edge of the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge. Way back when, this body of water was called the Salt Pond. Salinas means “salty” in Spanish, so this is the origin of the street name Salinas Street.
A Musical Time
Some studies have shown that music can have a positive effect on plant growth. Perhaps the family that lived in this home in the 1920s also contributed to the lush greenery in the garden. Val and Gladys Felger were both involved in music. Val owned a music store in Santa Barbara that sold phonographs, records, radios, and pianos. Gladys taught dancing in the home. Her pupils included many young girls studying ballet, and she taught ballroom dancing to adults as well. She and some of her young students danced in the first Fiesta in 1924. Gladys also danced at some of the local cinemas here at a time when it was common to combine a movie with live acts on stage. Movies at that time were often shorter than they are today, so singers and dancers were often added before or after the film to fill out the program. Before moving to Santa Barbara, Gladys had studied
dance in Los Angeles at a famous school known as the Denishawn School of Dancing. This school specialized in what we often call “modern dance.” In an interesting coincidence, this was also one of the places where Martha Graham studied after she graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1913. Graham was also an instructor at the dance school. Graham’s family still lived here in the 1920s, and she sometimes came here to visit and perform. It’s quite possible that she and Gladys knew each other. The Felgers lived in the home until the mid-1930s.
A High School Star
Residents of this home were in the news again in the 1950s. Peggy Wood was chosen as “Miss Typical Teen of 1959” at the Carrillo Recreation Center. Wood lived in this home and was a senior at Santa Barbara High School that year. The local paper explained that this annual contest since 1951 included a fashion show with the candidates modeling eve ning dress, bathing suit, and sportswear. The winner was judged on personality, speaking voice, poise, and attractiveness.
Peggy Wood was a manager and member of the pom-pom girls at the high school, was in the student legislature, and also participated in theater productions. She later attended San Jose State College and became a flight attendant, then known as a stewardess.
The present owners of this house, Darroch Greer and Stephanie Geyer, enjoy their cozy home in its sunlit garden setting.
Please do not disturb the residents of 30 South Salinas Street.

Community Hot Rod Project
Raises Funds for Vocational Training Center
On August 10-11, the Community Hot Rod Project (CHRP) hosted a weekend-long Auto Expo that included a rally, gala, and car show to raise funds for its noble and exciting plan to create a vocational training center for all ages. It was the reemergence of the car show after a year off, this time on the picturesque Great Meadow at Santa Barbara City College, drawing 200 autos from the past century.
The event featured some exotic cars and supercars, which, according to key volunteer Jeff Clark, people otherwise don’t get to see in the wild they sit in private collections and museums. The event had as its Grand Marshal Dave Shuten, cofounder of the renowned Galpin Speed Shop, who presented an award, as did various sponsors. Then the main awards, scored by auto class by a team of 10 judges, were presented.
Among the notable autos present and receiving an award was Dieter Meijer’s 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, valued at more than $2.5 million.
As exciting as the Expo was, what’s even more exciting is the purpose behind it raising funds to create an all-ages vocational training center to teach basic and advanced automotive skills. This would fill a void created by the demise years ago of auto shop programs in Santa Barbara high schools.
At the event and in an interview, Founder and President Kevin Haeberle, who has worked on cars since age 3 and has extensive experience in the industry, discussed his vision. He runs the nonprofit as a volunteer with the help of other volunteer supporters he has inspired with his vision, dedication, and accomplishments.
Earlier this year, CHRP went before the S.B. City Council, proposing to restore two derelict hangars, the General Western Aero Hangars, at the S.B. Airport, turning one hangar into its training center and the other into an automotive and
aviation museum. The grounds would be a venue for car shows, cruise nights, and other community events.
The council voted unanimously to have the hangars restored. The matter is now before the S.B. Airport Commission.
Despite sitting in a flood plain, the site is particularly appropriate because of its auto racing history. The first documented, sanctioned drag race, according to Haeberle, was held here in the 1950s, as were the Santa Barbara Road Races, which were frequented by celebrities, including James Dean. Positioned between the two hangars was a spectator grandstand, the outlines of which are still visible.
Haeberle sees the training center as going beyond basic auto shop instruction to include engineering, design rendering, 3D scanning and printing, and more. This advanced instruction will provide skills transferable to other industries, such as aerospace and apparel, Haeberle noted. He stresses the importance of getting youth involved with cars at an early age, when they are receptive to becoming engaged and excited about the auto trade.
Haeberle has developed friendships with leading fabricators and customizers, who have worked with CHRP on build projects in the past. These same experts, who energize the students, will be part of the training center.
A key component of the training center will be imparting life skills to youth through mentorship. With volunteers coming from diverse backgrounds and sharing a passion for cars, Haeberle posited, they will be well-positioned for mentoring. Skills not taught in the classroom can be imparted by mentors working side by side with youths on cars. The benefits can be huge, he related, through modeling how to be an effective, courteous team player and how to calmly overcome challenges.
The museum component is also exciting, with CHRP
seeking to preserve the history of these two industries to educate current and future generations. Haeberle’s team will collect memorabilia to create something akin to a vintage speed shop along with an aviation component honoring the aviation history of the region.
Among Haeberle’s supporters is Clark, who, as a volunteer on behalf of CHRP, runs Cars and Coffee every Sunday in Lower Manning Park, where 60 to 90 cars are on display every week and everyone is welcome. Clark praised Haeberle as “one of the most amazing guys I have ever met” who pours his heart and soul into CHRP.
With the demise of auto and other trade instruction in high school years ago, Clark related, today’s youths don’t have the opportunity to get the training that prior generations had. A good mechanic can make hundreds of dollars an hour, Clark noted, without having to spend four years and $100,000, which college requires. What’s more, according to Clark, there is a shortage of trained mechanics here.
Many of the custom car industry leaders are getting older, Clark noted, so now is the time to both celebrate them through the museum and pass along their know-how to the next generation through the training center.
While having identified some government and private funding for the hangar project, CHRP would need to raise much of the $6 million estimated cost.
CHRP continues to run Cars & Coffee in Montecito every Sunday and runs a similar event at Southcoast Church in Goleta on the second and fourth Saturday of the month.
