What is the name of the new superintendent of Cumberland Island National Seashore?
The new superintendent of Cumberland Island National Seashore, Fred Boyles says he’s ready to meet the myriad of challenges that are inherent in overseeing this unique resource. Boyles said the experience of returning to his superintendent post at Andersonville National Historic Site after deployment with the U.S. Navy Reserve prepared him for the challenges that await him at the national seashore.

Cumberland Island National Seashore has a new boss. Fred Boyles, superintendent at Andersonville National Historic Site, starts June 7. He replaces Jerre Brumbelow, who was assigned to an administrative position in Atlanta in July 2007. He was fired last year for withholding information about a project on a leased tract of land on the island. David Vela is Southeast regional director for the Park Service. He says the lack of a permanent superintendent has been a challenge. Boyles taught at Center Junior High in Waycross during the late ’70s.
