Ambassadorship edit

Korth Peacock was nominated officially by President George H. W. Bush on August 4, 1989, and presented her credentials as ambassador to Mauritius on December 6, 1989. She succeeded Ronald D. Palmer. At the time she most recently served as co-chair of the American Bicentennial Presidential Inauguration, 1988-1989.

Public diplomacy edit

In late 2005, the Advisory Commission published its annual report, giving strong recommendations and guidance on the future of U.S. public diplomacy. The group states that in the short term, a central goal is to establish platforms for cross-cultural dialogue, noting that two-way communication is critical to fostering a sense of shared values and trust. The report also provides recommendations on improving long-term communications, including the development of virtual centers for cultural exchange and the establishment of new English language inititiatives. The commission's conclusions highlight the increasing importance of modernizing communications in under-developed nations, providing a critical link for the West to engage its world audience.

Family edit

Korth Peacock originally married Fritz-Alan Korth and divorced with three children.

Korth Peacock then married the former Australian Liberal Opposition leader Andrew Peacock in 2002, after a long-time companionship.

Peacock, then 63, met Korth Peacock, then 59, at the time the former Texas beauty queen was ambassador to Mauritius, and while he was the Australian Ambassador to the United States from 1997 to 1999. Peacock, who was president of Boeing Australia and lived in Sydney, had only this to say about his third wedding: "It is a very happy occasion."[3]

Korth Peacock and Andrew Peacock most recently resided together in Texas. Andrew Peacock died on April 16, 2021, at the age of 82.[4]
