Obit: Serving La Verne was only half of what Galen and Doris Beery accomplished - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin

South.The next day, Galen Beery was scheduled to meet with a committee organizing a permanent exhibit of La Verne history dating from 1887 when La Verne was founded as Lordsburg, Hillcrest Homes CEO Matthew Neeley said. The exhibit at The Gallery at Hillcrest was to become the fourth field trip for Bonita Unified’s Hands on History program.“Third-graders studying California history do hands-on activities on Native American traditions, the Spanish ranchero period and the Gold Rush era at San Dimas Canyon Park, Pomona’s Palomares Adobe and forested canyons above Glendora,” Neeley said. “Nanette Hall, BUSD’s assistant superintendent of educational services, would work with Galen to create a curriculum.

Starting at age 15, the two were among Brethren teenagers who spent summers volunteering on kitchen and maintenance crews at Camp La Verne, a Brethren recreational retreat in Angelus Oaks.The Brethren nonviolent, peace philosophy prompted the Brethren-raised Galen to become a conscientious objector and join the Brethren Volunteer Service as the Vietnam War loomed. He worked with the International Voluntary Services, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. State Department to help people in Laos and Cambodia build schools and public-health facilities, dig wells and improve rural farming techniques for 10 years, starting in 1959 after graduating from Bonita High School and earning a bachelor’s degree in history from La Verne College.During a leave, he earned a master’s in municipal administration at USC.When Saigon fell in 1975, he became the Church World Serv...
