From: The Jamaican Gleaner Aug 24, 1999 Former US envoys to Jamaica ‚ an update Lacy Wright (Lacy Wright was Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy in Kingston and acted as Ambassador 1993-1994.) [...] Youthful emissary Although Washington has sent Jamaica no women Ambassadors, Barbados has seen two. The most recent was Jeanette Hyde. The other was Sally Shelton, who was a youthful US emissary to Bridgetown under President Jimmy Carter (1979-1981). In the 1980s, she married former CIA Director Bill Colby, whose untimely death in 1996 deprived the United States of a respected elder in foreign policy. Today, Sally Shelton Colby is with our Agency for International Development (AID), where she is Assistant Administrator for Global Affairs, arguably the most exciting perch in the world's largest national development agency. Needless to say, she travels widely.
