Gary Newchurch Named

Trinity General Manager

Gary L. Newchurch, a 28-year shipbuilding and ship repair vet- eran, has been named general man- ager of Trinity Marine-Beaumont, the largest of the twelve shipyards in the Trinity Marine Group.

The announcement was made by

Vincent Almerico, Jr., seniorvice- president of operations, for the

Newchurch had been employed by

McDermott, Inc., of New Orleans, since 1966 in a variety of positions in engineering and production man- agement at several McDermott fa- cilities.

Gary's experience in building and/or repair- ing vessels for Crowley, Moran,

Matson and others made him a tough competitor."
