In Memoriam
Geraldine “Gerry” M. Donnelly, 54, died
Feb 6. 2005, in Port St. Lucie, Fl. Donnelly began her career
with USAID as a civil service employee while attending law
school at night in the mid-1970s. She became program officer
in Yemen in 1983. Five years later, Donnelly became program
officer to the Indonesia mission, one of the largest Agency
posts. She became deputy mission director and program officer
in the regional mission in Bangkok in 1988. Donnelly returned
to Washington in 1991 as chief of the South Asia Project Development
Office. In 1992, she became director of the Office of Democracy,
Health, and Human Resources for the New Independent States
Task Force, which later became the Bureau for Europe and Eurasia.
From 1996 to 1998, Donnelly headed the Caucasus mission, overseeing
development programs in Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.
Donnelly retired in 2001, but consulted for USAID from her
home in Florida. She put plans in place for a project called
Siranoush Place, a serenity center where Armenian women suffering
from cancer will receive chemotherapy and maintenance drugs
to counteract the effects of the treatment. Donnelly’s
friends say they will best remember her for her infectious
laugh, strength and determination of spirit, keen intellect
and wit, and great generosity. She collected scores of friends
all around the world, traveled widely, and nursed a particular
interest in promoting democratic governance as a means for
empowering people in developing countries. She also was a
mentor to many aspiring foreign service officers.
John Martin Eustace, 79, died Jan. 12 in Palm Coast,
Fla. Prior to joining USAID in 1962, he held various personnel
and administrative positions in the General Services Administration,
as well as in the Air Force and Headquarters Marine Corps.
He also served with the Marine Corps during World War II and
the Korean War. At USAID, Eustace served as executive officer
in Panama and Pakistan. He was also director of the Foreign
Service Personnel office in Washington. He retired from the
Agency in 1979.
Thomas Clinton Niblock, 79, died Dec. 17, 2004, in
Adamstown, Md. He served in the Army during World War II and
the Korean War. He later worked for the United Nations Korean
Reconstruction Agency and the U.S. Foreign Assistance Program.
Upon joining USAID, Niblock was a program officer in Afghanistan,
and then director of the Office of Lao and Cambodian Affairs
in Washington. In 1965, he was assigned to the White House
to work on economic and social development programs in Southeast
Asia. In 1969, he was named mission director for USAID/Philippines,
where he served for six years. He then became mission director
of USAID/Indonesia. Niblock retired from the Agency in 1981,
but continued working in the development field through Winrock
International and the National Rural Electrification Association.
An avid forester, he was the first president of Habitat for
Humanity in Frederick County, Md. Niblock was awarded an honorary
doctorate of humanities by Mount St. Mary’s College in
Emmitsburg, Md., in acknowledgement of his community service
with Habitat and other organizations.
George Wachtenheim, 62, died Dec. 9, 2004, in Washington.
He served the Agency for 24 years in Latin America and the
Caribbean (LAC), the Middle East, and Africa. Wachtenheim
joined USAID as a loan officer in 1978, after serving overseas
with the Peace Corps. He then became chief of USAID/Peru’s
Capital Development Division, within the Office of Development
Resources. From 1985 to 1988, Wachtenheim was USAID/Bolivia’s
deputy mission director. He served in the same position in
Honduras from 1988 to 1991, and in Egypt from 1991 to 1992.
Wachtenheim was also mission director in Peru from 1992 to
1996, and in Mozambique from 1996 to 1997. He then returned
to Washington as director of LAC’s Office of Central
American Affairs, and later that year was named the bureau’s
deputy assistant administrator. He retired in 1998, but was
recalled a year later to be mission director in Colombia.
Wachtenheim returned to Washington in 2001 to accept a position
on the Administrator’s management team. One of his last
roles in the Agency before retiring the second time in 2002
was leading the efforts of Administrator Andrew Natsios to
reorganize USAID/Washington. Wachtenheim also worked with
the acting deputy administrator to provide front-office leadership
to the Agency’s overall reform process. In 1993, he was
awarded the Senior Foreign Service Presidential Meritorious
Service Award. When he left Peru, that government awarded
him its highest decoration given to a non-Peruvian. Wachtenheim
also served on the Foreign Service Grievance Board, and was
appointed in 2002 by then-Secretary of State Colin Powell
to a commission conducting an inquiry into the assassination
of Foreign Service Officer Lawrence Foley.
