NORFOLK NAVAL AIR STATION CHANGE OF COMMAND

ILLUSTRATION: BILL TIERNAN photos, The Virginian-Pilot

Salutes, smiles for new commander

A normally all-business hangar witnessed the glitter of gold braid

and the pomp of ceremony last week, when Capt. Ronald E. Keys

relieved Capt. Daniel J. Franken as the Norfolk Naval Air Station's

commander. Above, Keys' mother, Mary Tilghman of Virginia Beach,

stands beside her son as he receives congratulations from friends

and fellow officers. Below, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Eddie Franklin,

saluting second from left, joins other sailors in honoring the new

skipper. Keys comes to his new job overseeing the busy air base from

the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. Franken will report to

the Naval War College in Newport, R.I., as a Chief of Naval

Operations Fellow. by CNB
