ALUMNA OF THE YE AR

Alumna of the Year

GAYLE OCHELTREE ’71

Gayle Ocheltree, MBA Class of 1971, has

devoted her life to her country and community

since she left MBA 40 years ago .

Gayle joined the Army following her gradu-

ation . She had the honor of being the 250th

female to graduate from Army Jump School

at Fort Benning, Georgia . During her military

years, one of her assignments was to jump

from a C-130 aircraft into Nicaragua to escort

international school children from the Carib-

bean coast to a commercial airliner to be taken

out the country .

While stationed at Ft . Devens, Massachusetts

with the U .S . Army Intelligence School, Gayle

graduated from Fitchburg State College (MA)

with a B .S . in Communications and an empha-

sis in television communications .

Gayle received two Congressional Recognitions for her humanitarian work in the military . She

is also an Honoree for the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial in Washington, D .C . .

The Memorial will be the nation’s first and only permanent public tribute to the more than

three million living disabled American veterans and the countless hundreds of thousands who

have died . Gayle will be included in the Memorial along with Senator John McCain and former

Senator Robert Dole among others .

She currently volunteers at West Los Angeles and Sepulveda Veteran’s Hospitals and clinics .

Gayle is also a member of the Burbank Fire Department’s Search and Rescue team . For the

past 25 years, Gayle has worked in the television and film industry . She is a writer and has writ-

ten five screenplays and five television pilots .

MBA is proud to recognize Gayle for her dedication in serving the United States of America

and her faithful service to her community .


Alumnus of the Year

JAKE SCHEIDEMAN ’86

Jake Scheideman, MBA Class of 1986, has

led a life of service to others since he left this

campus 25 years ago .

Jake went on to graduate from Pacific Union

College in 1990 . Soon after, he traveled to

Nicaragua with his initial interest stemming

from a shared passion with the Nicaraguan

people—baseball . That passion led him to the

small village of Empalme de Boaco where a

successful baseball program was thriving .

In 1991, Jake established his own business

in St . Helena, California . Although he loves

baseball, he saw an opportunity to buy St .

Helena Cyclery and now he knows everything

about bicycles .

Hurricane Mitch hit Nicaragua in 1998 . Jake returned to the village of Empalme de Boaco

to offer his assistance only to find the disaster had destroyed the baseball field—the very

fabric of the villager’s lives . Jake committed to build them a baseball field . After four years

of fundraising from individuals, businesses, and a partnership with the International Rotary

Club, Jake’s team returned to the village in Nicaragua . They built not just a baseball field,

but a baseball stadium large enough to host teams from neighboring regions, thanks to the

generosity of many donors .

The stadium soon led to building homes for the villagers . With an ever-expanding group of

volunteers, 67 homes and community facilities have been built since 2002 .

Jake is very active in his own community in St . Helena . He is a member of the local Rotary Club

and a board member of Vine Trail . This is a group dedicated to building a 44-mile walk/bike

path from Calistoga to Vallejo—a $50 million project . Jake’s personal philosophy is people

make a difference . Obviously, he acts upon this belief .

MBA is proud to recognize Jake for his humanitarian contributions, and his loyalty and faithful

service to not only his community, but to the citizens of Nicaragua .

ROBERT AND BETTY BAERG

Bob and Betty Baerg, MBA faculty members

for 38 years, devoted their careers to serv-

ing young people through math and physics

education . However, more importantly, they

devoted their lives to educating and arming

teenagers with the knowledge of Jesus Christ

and His love for them .

These two have been mirror images for much

of their lives . They met at La Sierra University .

Each of them graduated with a Bachelor’s

degree in Physics as well as a Master’s degree

in Physics, completing their studies in 1964 .

They headed off to their first teaching jobs at

Indiana Academy . After two years of snow and

cold weather, they received a call to come to

Monterey Bay Academy and experience Where Land and Sea Unite to Inspire . They must have

been thoroughly inspired as they settled in—not imagining they would spend the rest of their

careers at MBA .

Both of the Baerg’s have received numerous recognitions throughout their careers as well as

contributing to the secondary education system through their volunteer efforts . Both were

recognized as:

• Zapara Award Winners for Teaching Excellence

• Alumnus and Alumna of the Year by La Sierra University School of Education

• Teachers of Excellence by the Alumni Achievement Awards Foundation

Each participated in the Central California Conference Mentor Teacher Program from 1997–

2004 thus imparting their experience to the next generation of teachers . Both were Math and/

or Physics session presenters for California Private School Teachers Conventions as well as the

North American Division of SDA Teacher’s Conventions .

MBA history notes that they were the early pioneers of integrating technology into the

classroom . They encouraged their MBA colleagues to follow suit and helped them establish

technology in their own classrooms . Bob and Betty’s vision for the future of education has

been captured by the establishment of the Baerg Endowment . Funds for the endowment are

dedicated to keeping MBA on the cutting edge of technology in the subject areas of math,

chemistry, and physics in particular . Anyone may donate to this endowment .


HALL OF FAITH

Bob and Betty retired to Arizona nearly seven years ago . Their volunteer spirit is evidenced

in many ways . Bob is an officer in the Homeowner’s Association where they live . He teaches

classes in Excel, Access, and PowerPoint to the senior citizens within their community . He’s

also actively involved with the establishment, operation, and maintenance of the audio/visual

needs for the Apache Junction Church and the Homeowner’s Association . Betty volunteers as

the Bags of Love director, treasurer for the church and the church school, Women’s Ministries

Leader, and co-facilitator of the East Valley AZ Chapter of Bosom Buddies . Both still return to

MBA in the summer and other times throughout the school year to volunteer as needed .

For these reasons, we are proud to recognize Bob and Betty Baerg for their teaching excel-

lence, pioneer spirit in educational technology, and volunteerism for their community and

Monterey Bay Academy .

The Truth About Boarding Schools

Monterey Bay Academy…{more than a beach|

MONTEREY BAY ACADEMY

My conversion to Christ at MBA set my life in a direction that cannot be described in words, because it has been an experience. I could never repay the valuable training and life preparation I received at MBA.

JOSé ROJAS, Class of 1978Director, Volunteer Ministries, North American Division of SDA

Former advisor to the White House for two Presidents on humanitarian leadership

I am indebted to the teachers and leaders that I now realize were making great sacrifices to work at MBA. The education, discipline, and life-long friendships from my years at MBA are invaluable assets that will live with me forever.

SCOTT NELSON, M.D., Class of 1988Medical Director, CURE International, Haiti and Santo Domingo

MBA Alumnus of the Year 2010

THE TRUTH IS…MBA gave each of our three girls a time for learning, maturing, and establishing their trajectory for life. Thank you! We are eternally grateful.

RICHARd H. HART, M.D., Dr.PH.President and CEO, Loma Linda University and Medical Center

I love MBA and it has changed me for the better. Anyone who used to know me before my enrollment here until now can say without a doubt I am more of my own person who loves to get involved and help people.
