Aerojet-General Names Waldo Assistant Mgr. Of SES Program Robert D. Waldo has been named assistant manager of the Surface Effect Ships program at Aerojet-General Corporation, El Monte, Calif. Mr. Waldo's appointment was announced by William C. House, Aerojet vice-president and manager of the Surface Effect Ships Divi-sion.

A graduate of the University of Colorado with a BS and MS in aeronautical engineering, Mr. Wal-do also earned a master of business economics from Claremont Grad-uate School. Aerojet is a subsidiary of The General Tire & Rubber Company. Charles A. Narwicz Joins Stanwick Corp. Charles A. Narwicz Charles A. Narwicz has been named engineering assistant to H.
