Arthur F. Byrnes, 88, died Dec. 30, 2005, in McLean,

director of the Recife mission in northeast Brazil. He later
became deputy director of USAID’s mission in Ecuador.
Other assignments included director of international training
at USAID headquarters in Washington. Byrnes attended the Army
War College.
John Damon Peabody Jr., 84, died Jan. 23 in Hancock,
N.H. Peabody spent most of his career at USAID working on
health programs that revolved around family planning and population
control in Third World countries. His work included assignments
in Turkey, Rio de Janeiro, Honduras, and Washington, D.C.
He retired in 1980. Peabody graduated from Trinity College
in 1944 and served in the Naval Air Corps during World War

Walter J. Sherwin, 74, died Jan. 18, in Bethesda,
Md. He began his career as a writer for Scholastic Magazines

From 1965 to 1971, Sherwin worked in Burkina Faso, Madagascar,
and Senegal. He then spent seven years in Washington before
returning overseas to Niger and Guinea for five years. Sherwin
retired in 1986 but consulted for several years on USAID projects.
He also volunteered with reading for the blind and dyslexic

on tape for the blind in Africa in their local languages.
Born in Germany, Sherwin escaped Nazi persecution in 1939
by moving to the United States.

Donald A. Gambatesa was sworn in Jan. 17 as USAID’s
fourth inspector general.
As such, Gambatesa is charged with leading independent audit
and investigation activities to support integrity, efficiency,
and effectiveness in USAID’s operations and programs.
The inspector general is responsible for keeping the Administrator
and Congress fully informed about problems and deficiencies
in USAID programs and operations and the necessity for, and
progress of, corrective actions.
Gambatesa previously served as the deputy director of the
U.S. Marshals Service and has more than 30 years of federal
law enforcement experience. He has worked in OIG investigations,
and for 24 years was a special agent of the U.S. Secret Service,
where he held several leadership positions managing protective
and investigative operations at home and overseas.
In addition to USAID, Gambatesa serves as inspector general
for the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the African Development
Foundation, the Inter-American Foundation, and the Overseas
Private Investment Corporation.
Gambatesa is a graduate of John Carroll University and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Executive
Institute. He is a member of the International Association
of Chiefs of Police and the National Executive Institute Associates.
USAID’s former inspector general, Everett L. Mosley,
retired in 2004. Several acting inspectors general carried
out the duties of the post between that time and Gambatesa’s
appointment.
Human Rights Advocate Willie Grace Campbell Dies
Willie Grace Campbell, who spent five decades promoting human
rights and women’s empowerment around the world and advising
USAID on these issues, died Feb. 6 in Los Angeles. She was
90.
Campbell was a member of USAID’s Advisory Committee
on Voluntary Foreign Aid during the 1980s, offering advice
on how to promote women’s rights.
During the 1960s, Campbell launched voter education projects
in six inner cities. She took part in the first White House
Conference on Civil Rights, trained legions of female political
candidates, pushed the League of Women Voters to challenge
social inequities with lawsuits, and served as vice chair
of the federal African Development Foundation from age 75
until her death.
In 1945, Campbell helped establish a chapter of the League
of Women Voters in Indianapolis. She served as the organization’s
state president before rising to the national board in 1959.
In the 1970s, she became president of the National Women’s
Education Fund, part of the National Women’s Political
Caucus. At the same time, she worked for the league’s
Overseas Education Fund, trying to improve schooling in Latin
America, Asia, and Africa.
“What affects women in one country affects us all,”
she told The Washington Post in 1991.
