The David J. Bieber Memorial Scholarship
F I R S T P R I N C I PA L O F M O N T E R E Y B AY AC A D E M Y
DR. DAVID J. BIEBER WAS THE FIRST PRINCIPAL of Monterey Bay
Academy. He served as principal from 1950-1957 and was deeply
loved and respected by teachers and students alike. Dr. Bieber
had a vision for this new school that was evidenced in what he
wrote in the 1950 yearbook.
“God in His providence has seen fit to make this beautiful
property available to the cause of Christian education in the
Central California area. With its beautiful and ideal setting, this
school proposes a balanced program for spiritual, mental,
physical, and social development. Thus, it offers to the youth of
noble and worthwhile purposes the best in education.
May this school continue to grow into a powerful institution for
good. Located Where Land and Sea Unite to Inspire, may it stand
as a beacon light to a world in need. May it in its secluded and
quiet location remain as a haven of protection for the Christian
youth who have chosen and will choose to attend this school.”
On April 15, 2008 Dr. Bieber passed away at the age of 98.

CREATIVE SPIRIT and naturally radiant red hair. She loved malt

into adulthood. She was a proud member of the second
generation club as her father is also an alumnus. Her smooth alto
voice graced the Monterey Bay Academy choir as well as
Oceanaires. Her musical talents extended into band as she also
played clarinet. As a friend, Danette's humor and infectious broad
grin lifted the spirits of those that sought her out.
Danette returned many times to Monterey Bay Academy after
graduation in 1985. She loved "her school" and gave back with
financial support and desired to give back so much more. Her
imprint on Monterey Bay Academy continues as lives are touched

way to cherish her memory and honor a fellow Monterey Bay
Academy student.

The Leal V. Grunke Leadership Scholarship
F O U N D E R O F M O N T E R E Y B AY AC A D E M Y
ELDER LEAL GRUNKE IS THE FOUNDING FATHER of Monterey
Bay Academy. Elder Grunke had a vision that this former World
War II military base, Camp McQuaide, could become a Seventhday-Adventist Academy unlike no other. It’s geographical location
and opportunities for industry seemed ideal. At the time, not many
shared his vision for Camp McQuaide. Elder Grunke’s
perseverance paid off when the United States government agreed
to give the base to the Central California Conference at no cost.
When Elder Grunke, his wife, and daughter arrived at the base
gate, one last soldier remained to hand off the key to the Grunke’s.
The soldier got in his car and drove away while the Grunke’s
moved onto the 379-acre grounds as its only occupants.
This scholarship was established by Elder Grunke’s only child,
Darlene Grunke, to honor her father’s vision.
Grunke Scholars are recognized for their character, Christian
dedication, and vision for the future. The award is given to a junior
or senior and placed on their Monterey Bay Academy account.

A Gift of Grace Imparted

A L U M N U S 19 75 | FA C U LT Y 19 8 7– 2 0 12
JON SPEYER came to Monterey Bay Academy in 1968, growing up
on the MBA campus, and was a four-year student graduating in 1975.
In 1987, his dream of teaching Bible to high school students was
realized when he accepted a Bible teaching position at MBA.
His passion for educating youth was equally as strong after 25
years as it was from the moment he started. He always said that until
God led him to do otherwise, his mission in life would remain the
same—communicating the unconditional love of Jesus to youth.
This gift was established by Jon’s wife, Kinzie ’76, and their three
sons, Ryan ’00, Brandon ’03, and Jordan ’06, after Jon’s untimely
death on December 31, 2012. With Romans being one of Jon’s
favorite classes to teach as well as his favorite book of the Bible, the
only criteria for receiving this gift is that the student has completed
the Romans Bible class and has begun to grasp its meaning.
It is the desire of the Speyer family that the student who receives
this free gift will begin to understand the unconditional love of Jesus
and the free gift of salvation that Christ gives to us.
For I am convinced that neither life nor death, neither angels nor demons…nor anything else in
all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38–39
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift
of God. Ephesians 2:8
