Personal Life 

While we do not have much information on Shively’s personal life prior to his tenure at Bunker Hill, we do know some details about his personal life. We know that he was born in McComb, Ohio in 1918 and that he got a degree in Meat Science from Ohio State University before America’s involvement in World War Two. We also know that he enlisted during World War Two as a pilot for the United States Army Air Corps from 1942 until 1946. The full extent of his service as a pilot is not shown, however we do know that he flew supplies into mainland China and Taiwan which is mentioned through a Night Times profile as being a formative experience to his concern with assisting internationally. The Night Times profile further highlights his past educational experience such as becoming the Dean of Continuing Education at Orange County Community College in New York before founding North Shore Community College in Massachusetts. It is unknown to us if Shively was previously married, but what we do know is that he married Dr. Beverely Anderson on March 20, 1982. Not much information is found in the archives surrounding Dr. Anderson, but we do know that she was a professor and eventual chairwoman of the behavioral science department at BHCC. They were married from 1982 until Shively’s death in 2000.
