12 International House Times Look Who Came To Visit! 1. Wayne K. Yasutomi (IH 1987-89) and Keiko Nakamura (IH 1988-89) I-House couple Wayne and Keiko stopped by the alumni office in August while visiting from Japan to help their son, a freshman at Cal, get settled in. They shared with Director of Development, Joy Iwasa the story of how they met in the Great Hall. Keiko remarked that before they officially met, she always saw Wayne watching the Olympics in the Great Hall, so it was a treat to see residents watching the Olympics together during their visit. 2. Ralf Kellermann (IH 1999) and his family picked up their teenage son from Vancouver Island and came to visit Berkeley. They enjoyed staying in the Ambassador Suite at I-House. 3. Richard Vondrak (IH 1964-66) (pictured far right) and his wife Mary (IH 1963-66), reunited with fellow alumni, Stuart Pawsey (IH 1964-66) and Glenda Pawsey (IH 1965-67) while visiting UC Berkeley for Richard's 50th reunion at Cal. Richard, an Emeritus Scientist for Lunar Exploration at the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center, presented Stuart Pawsey and Hans Giesecke with photos of the Pawsey Crater on the far side of the moon that is named after Stuart's father, the Australian radio astronomer Joseph Lade Pawsey. 4. Andrea Eberly and her daughter Linnéa stayed in the Ambassador Suite while Linnéa was checking out colleges. Linnéa's grandmother, Ursula (Alf) Graebe (IH 1950-53), was an I-House alumna. They were delighted to receive the original copy of Ursula's application. 5. Manuel Schulze (IH 2013), the 2014 Davis Projects for Peace winner for Recycle Up! Ghana, visited I-House to share lunch and updates about his project with Hans Giesecke, Executive Director; Sulaiman Haruna, resident from Ghana; and Shirley Spiller, I-House Sr. Advisor for Business & Financial Affairs. 6. Charles Foster, former I-House Board of Directors member, met with Joy Iwasa and had an unexpected reunion with I-House Human Resources Manager, Deborah Preston. Deborah states, "Charles was the Executive Director of the Port of Oakland and was my mentor for many years when I worked at the Port. He truly helped propel my career in human resources and facilitated my exposure to the Oakland community." Charles continues to mentor and support leaders in the community and has pledged his support of our financial aid program at I-House. Back to Berkeley 1 2 4 5 3 6
