La Verne Magazine
Vol. 24, No. 2
Summer 2000

Betty Klousek sold her goods at a store in Glendora
called The Irish Nook for 13 years before she moved to La Verne in 1995.
In the back offices of her current store, hundreds of thousands of beads
and gems are stored and labeled, ready to be replacements on items in need
of repair.
