Ed w a r d Kaune To Be G e n e r a l M a n a g e r Of Todd-San Francisco

Capt. Edward Kaune, USN (ret.), now serving as assistant general manager, has been selected to succeed Harrison G.

Rowe as general manager of the San Francisco Division of Todd Shipyards Corporation, upon his retirement on August 1, 1980.

Carl R. Meurk, vice president- West Coast Operations of Todd Shipyards Corporation, stated Mr. Rowe had served the San Francisco Division in positions of ever - i n c r e a s i n g responsibility with dedication and skill for 32 years, and the corporation will be fortunate to retain his services in a consulting capacity after his formal retirement.

In addition to this organization change, Richard Grothen, presently operations manager of the Seattle Division, will be transferred to San Francisco as assistant general manager for administration, a position that will complement the position of assistant general manager for production, held by James Arrol.

Mr. Meurk further stated that Tracy Ball has been appointed general superintendent, replacing William Mitchell who is retiring, and that Dick Gerdes has been appointed assistant to the general manager for commercial business development.

These organizational changes will place the San Francisco Division in a more advantageous position to be able to handle the expected increase in U.S. Navy repair and overhaul work, as well as increased commercial work, in the years to come.
