Today it was announced that Adolph Ojard, executive director of the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, is retiring.

It’s important that we know the port authority is in good hands once the capable Mr. Ojard steps down. That’s why I’ve hired a crack team of researchers to develop technology to predict the next hire for the port authority using only the fanciest of the fancy sciences.
First, let’s take a look at Ojard:

Kendra, initiate magenta protocol. Ready? Go!
