BRECKSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The head of a park on the shoreline
of the San Francisco Bay has been chosen as the next superintendent of
the only national park in Ohio.
The National Park Service says
Craig Kenkel will become superintendent this spring at Cuyahoga Valley National Park, located about
halfway between
Cleveland and Akron. The previous leader of the park became a regional
director last summer.
Kenkel has been superintendent at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park in California since
2010.
He says he first visited the Ohio park in 1992, and it’s been on his top-ten parks list since then.
The
Harlan, Iowa, native started his full-time career with the park service
in 1985 as a historical architect. He also has worked in the Midwest
region office.
