Bourgeois Julijona Liesyte Fraser, known to her many IH Golden Age fellow alumni friends as "Julia" a resident of El Cerrito, CA, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2013 surrounded by her loving family and friends. Born in Harbin, China, to Lithuanian parents on June 16, 1918, she earned her undergraduate degree from Vilnius University and left Europe at the end of World War II, entering the United States through Ellis Island as a Chinese immigrant. Fluent in many languages her first job was at the Library of Congress in Washington DC, prior to making her way west to the Berkeley where she studied and lived at International House. While pursuing her Master's degree in Library Science and History she developed close friendships with many at I-House. Julia, who was Catholic, developed a strong friendship at I-House with Lottie Salz (IH 1947-48), a Holocaust survivor. IH Director Alan Blaisdell introduced the two.

Corrections We regret the omission of Peter Taylor's name in the Fall 2012 Honor Roll of Donors at the Diplomat level. In the article honoring IH alumnus Professor Rangaiya Rao (IH 1959) in the Fall 2012 newsletter, we omitted the name of his son, Gopal Rao, and have modified the online version to read "Professor Rao is also missed and remembered by son Gopal Rao, daughter Gowri Grewel, son-in-law Paul Grewal, and grandchildren Calvin & Sarina Grewal, all of Palo Alto, and many family members in India." We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our newsletter and donor listings. If you identify an error or wish to make a change to your name as it appears in honor rolls, please notify Shanti Corrigan at (510) 642-4128, shanti@berkeley.edu. Please accept our apologies for any errors.

Julijona is survived by her three children, Paula Fraser, Sandy Fraser, and Julian Fraser. Julijona enjoyed her seven grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. She was an intelligent, independent woman who passed on a love of books, cooking, traveling, and above all–family. She will be missed by all who knew her. International House Times 15
