As it happens, a different promotion of Mr. Gray's is also planning changes to its board. The Alberta- and Saskatchewan-focused Gear Energy Ltd. (GXE), up one cent to 67 cents on 625,100 shares, will ask shareholders on May 1 to add two new people to its board (joining Mr. Gray, who is Gear's chairman and co-founder). One is Kevin Johnson, who became Gear's president and CEO just two weeks ago, succeeding the retiring Ingram Gillmore. He was previously at the private Duvernay-focused Artis Exploration. The other new nominee is Kathy Turgeon, who has known Mr. Gray for many years. She is currently vice-president and chief financial officer of Peyto.
