From Page 30
manian officials sought to
shut down a performance.
Lewis successfully negotiated
with the band and
communist officials to allow
the concert tour to
continue.
Lewis’s primary foreign
policy interest lay in Africa.
From 1972 to 1974,
Lewis served as Cultural
Affairs Officer at the U.S.
Embassy in Lusaka, Zambia.
In 1974, he was sent
to Ethiopia and in 1977,
Lewis was sent to Lagos,
Nigeria, where he continued
his work for USIA
until being appointed as
the agency’s Director of
African Affairs in 1979.
In 1983, President Ronald
Reagan nominated Arthur
Lewis as U.S. Ambassador
to Sierra Leone. He
served at the Embassy in
Freetown until his retirement
in 1986.
Arthur Lewis continued
to promote international
political and economic development
in Africa after
his retirement from diplomatic
service. He has been
a senior consultant for the
Nord Resources Corporation
which operated mining
interests in Sierra Leone
from 1983 to 1995.
In 2016, he moved to
Wilmette to be closer to
his daughter, Dale, sonin-law,
granddaughter and
two of his five great grandchildren.
A reception in celebration
of his life will be held
from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30
p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at
Westminster Place, Elliott
Hall (located below the

honors will be held: this

Cemetery.
Donald R. MacGregor
Donald R. MacGregor,
74, died Jan. 15 from
complications related to
leukemia. Born in Auburn,
N.Y., MacGregor
grew up in Wilmette and
Northbrook and was a
graduate of Loyola Academy
and St. Ambrose College.
He was the beloved
father of Don (Kim) of Elmhurst
and Mike (Moira)
of Chicago; the adored
grandfather of five; and a
loyal big brother to dear
sister Mary (Harriett) of
Dallas. He was preceded
in death by his parents,
Leonard and Jean; brother
Leonard (Judy); and sister
Janet (Nick) Montanaro.
Before retirement, Mac-
Gregor worked in sales
for National Cash Register
(NCR) and, later, Discover
Financial Services.
He was a kind, gentle
man, and a rare breed
who loved both sailing
and stock car racing in
equal measure. He also
enjoyed walking miles,
riding his bicycle, getting
a good bargain whenever
he could, and supporting
his grandchildren in all of
their pursuits. A celebration
of his life will take
place at a future date.
