He studied architecture at UC Berkeley, earning his B.A. and M.A. in 1943 and 1948.

Reeve was a lifelong supporter and served on the board of many cultural arts institutions. Warren Unna (IH 1941-43) Warren Unna died February 9, 2019 at a retirement community in Mitchellville, MD, at the age of 93. Warren was born in San Francisco on Sept. 14, 1923.

Nixon's enemies list in the early 1970s, presumably for his reporting on the Vietnam War for e Post and for a short-lived public television program, "Newsroom." In Memory Betsey Warrick, First Lady Emeritus of I-House and an influential resident of Berkeley for 60 years, died at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland on June 26. She was 95. Betsey was born in Norwood, Massachusetts, and studied sociology at Smith College. It was here that she met her husband, Sheridan "Sherry" Warrick, and the two were married in 1945. After living together in Amherst and Chicago, the Warricks moved to Berkeley in 1959 with their three children. Sherry was appointed Executive Director of International House in 1961. Betsey served on the board of directors of the University YWCA for 26 years. She started by teaching English at the Y before getting a master's degree in education from the University of San Francisco. She spent the next 13 years teaching English as a Second Language at Berkeley Adult School. She also founded the Laotian Handicraft Center with three local women to help Laotian women acquire language and business skills with traditional needlework while supporting their families. With her husband Sherry, Betsey helped make her home a welcoming place for students, visitors, and immigrants from around the world. She was a humanitarian and a lover of people. She joined her husband at countless I-House functions greeting students and visiting scholars, most of whom thereafter counted her as a lifelong friend. Betsey was an inspiration to every person she befriended. She was sharp and engaged, curious about peoples' lives, and devoted to the music, art, and cultures of the world. Betsey is survived by her husband, Sherry; older brother, David; daughter, Becky, and her husband, Ron; son, Dan, and his wife, Karen; son, Doug, and his daughter, Ali; as well as by grandsons, Morgan and Tom, and their wives, Christina and Jeanetta; and great-granddaughter, Maya. She is deeply missed by all. Betsey suggested memorial contributions be made to International House, for the Sheridan and Betsey Warrick Scholarship Fund, 2299 Piedmont Ave., Berkeley, CA 94720. Eleanor "Elly" Bade writes, "Betsey Warrick was a big part of my husband's and my lives. I still maintain fond memories of I-House, from the days of Dr. Blaisdell to the present. I have the pleasure of talking about I-House with Vangie Buell (who lives at Piedmont Gardens with me) and who worked with Betsy Bacon and the other wonderful I-House staff. Little drops of water make large circles, and I-House has been sending the world good vibes for years. The Warricks are the ambas- sadors in an important part of this process."
