The Brethren Hillcrest continuing care retirement community in La Verne has elected its Board of Directors for 1997. Dr. Donald Clague recently retired as professor of educational management at the University of La Verne and was elected chair of Hillcrest's Board of Directors. The vice chair of the Board is Marvin V. Snell, M.D., partner in U.S. Family Care in San Dimas.
