December 20, 2005 | Read Time: 1 minute
Governor Mitt Romney has replaced two trustees of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, following through on pledges to overhaul the board after the state Board of Higher Education reversed a decision to fire Admiral Richard Gurnon as the academy’s president, reports The Boston Globe. Marine Corps Reserve Col. William Sinnott and retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Jimmy Dishner were picked to replace Joaquim Nobrega and Paul McNally, who had remained as trustees even though their terms had expired. The board is expected to vote today to formally reinstate Mr. Gurnon as president of the academy, which trains students for maritime careers.
