Winfred Wyatt "Win" Adams
Winfred Wyatt "Win" Adams, who served as cabinet secretary in the early months of Gov. Ronald Reagan's first term and, later, as chairman of the State Water Resources Control Board, died on June 25, 2005, after a brief illness. A resident of El Macero for 28 years, he was 88.
Friends are invited to a memorial reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 17, at El Macero Country Club, 44571 Clubhouse Drive in El Macero.
Born Feb. 1, 1917, in Warren, Ark., he served more than 20 years of active duty in the U.S. Armed Services, first enlisting in the Army in 1939. He served 21 months in the European Theater of Operations, including battles and campaigns in Rome, Arno, southern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europe and northern France.
He spent the last years of his active duty in Air Force Intelligence, including a four-year assignment to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo beginning in 1949. In July 1952 when Egypt's King Farouk was forced to abdicate by Gen. Abdul Nasser's military coup, Adams was responsible for providing a safe conduct escort for the king as he fled in his yacht to exile in Italy and Monaco.
Adams retired from military service as a chief warrant officer in 1969 following 10 years in the reserves.
Following his discharge from active duty in 1959, he settled in San Diego and first worked for the U.S. Census Bureau. A lifelong Republican, he then went to work for the California Republican Party. Drawing on what he learned from the demographic database developed by the 1960 decennial census, he led the development and implementation of the Republican "CalPlan" that culminated in Reagan's election in 1966.
He served on the new governor's transition team, assigned to the water and natural resources departments. In 1967 he accepted the position of cabinet secretary, where he facilitated the day-to-day interface of the governor's office with the various departments of state government.
In 1970, Adams was appointed to the State Water Resources Control Board where he served two full four-year terms, plus a one-year extension. He was designated as the board's chairman from 1972 until 1976 when he was succeeded by Gov. Jerry Brown's appointee, John E. Bryson.
Adams' tenure was marked by the completion of the merging of the functions of the State Water Rights Board and the State Water Quality Control Board, which had been combined in 1967 to form the State Water Resources Control Board. It was also a period when the state board and its subsidiary Regional Water Quality Control Boards accepted delegation of expansive new duties under the 1972 federal Clean Water Act.
An avid golfer, he was a member of El Macero Country Club for more than 30 years, where he enjoyed many friendships. He was once a member of the Pentagon golf team, and continued to play until recently. He also enjoyed music and dancing.
He was preceded in death by three brothers and four sisters, and by his first wife, Grace Laurine "Jo" George Adams.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Alice of El Macero; her children, Cathie Carson of Davis, Tom Carson of Cameron Park and John Carson of Sacramento; and seven grandchildren.
He is further survived by his sister, Eileen (Mrs. Omer) Johnston of Crossett, Ark.
