International House Times 15 Look Who Came To Visit! 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 8. Alexander Haydl (IH 2016-17) and his partner, Sandra, stopped by I-House while visiting from Germany. Alexander was excited to see the renovated Edmonds' Cafe and the I-House library, where he spent many hours during his year as a postdoctoral scholar in the UC Berkeley Department of Chemistry. 9. Jonas Scharfenberg (IH 2016), who conducts research on teachers, teacher education, and intercultural school development, visited I-House while in town for a conference on educational psychology. He reminisced with I-House Alumni Engagement Manager, Margie Ryan (IH 1992-93), "You know, when you live here, you're busy living your life, collecting experiences, making friends. And when you leave, you really realize what a home I-House is and how ingrained I-House is in you and how deeply it affected your life." 10. Dietrich Ohse (IH 1971-72) and his wife, Elke, stopped by I-House during a visit from Germany. Dietrich was particularly happy to see the mailroom, which he said, in the years prior to email communication, was one of the most important rooms in the House. 11. Alla (Kruglyak) Batistella (IH 1996-98) and her husband, Felipe, dropped by during a visit from London. Although Alla was a mathematics student while here at Cal, she later went on to study international relations, inspired, in part, by her experience at I-House. 12. Nicolas and Maria (Terekhov) Woringer (IH 2003-04) met at I-House almost two decades ago and came back for a visit with their four daughters. They shared many vibrant memories of rooms throughout the House: long dinners and great conversation with friends in the Dining Commons; cooking French crepes and Russian delicacies in the Sproul Kitchen; Sunday Suppers in the Chevron Auditorium; late- night dance parties in the Game Room, and lounging in the Great Hall. Maria said, "Funny, I don't actually remember my room number, but I certainly remember the people." 13. Manu Singh Bhuller (IH 2007-08) wanted to show Cal and I-House to his wife, Linda, and their children. So while Manu was a visiting researcher in economics at Arizona State University Tempe, they made the trek back to Berkeley. 14. Richard ("Dick") C. Rowson (IH 1944-46) returned to I-House for the first time in 56 years. Dick was enlisted in the Navy during WWII and lived in I-House (then "Callaghan Hall") while enrolled in the U.S. Naval Officer Training School. He remembers with pride that the residents of Callaghan Hall — all Navy recruits — were not allowed to use the elevators in the building. "That daily exercise was part of our training."
