The governor also reappointed Wallace H. Terry of Alexandria and James W. Brinkley of Baltimore, Md., to second terms on the board.
The new members are:
Frank Batten, chairman of the board of Landmark Communications Inc. in Norfolk. He replaces Pamela C. Harriman.
J. Edward Grimsley, Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial page editor. He replaces Stewart H. Gamage.
Najeeb E. Halaby of McLean, chairman of Dulles Access Rapid Transit Inc. and former chief executive officer of Pan American World Airways. He succeeds Richard J. Davis.
Janet Hill of Reston, vice president of Alexander & Associates Inc., a corporate consulting firm in Washington, D.C. She succeeds Sandra D. Bowen.
The terms of Batten, Brinkley, Halaby and Terry will expire in 1994, and Grimsley's and Hill's terms will end in 1993.
Gamage and Bowen had been named to the William and Mary board by former Gov. Gerald Baliles. But they were among nearly 140 Baliles appointees who were left in limbo when the House of Delegates missed a deadline for confirming them during the recent General Assembly session.
Wilder signaled at the time that he might take advantage of the House's mistake and replace Baliles' appointees with individuals of his own choosing.
Gamage had served during the administrations of both Baliles and former Gov. Charles Robb as the head of the state's liaison office in Washington.
Bowen served as Baliles' secretary of the commonwealth.
Causing some surprise was the fact that Wilder had chosen to replace Gamage with Grimsley.
Grimsley had endorsed Wilder's opponent, former Attorney General Marshall Coleman, in last year's governor's race, and over the years he has written several editorials that have been critical of Wilder.
