Tuscaloosa, Ala. (February 11, 2002) – The chairman of Randall Publishing Co., H. Pettus Randall, III, today announced the promotion of F.

He has served as chairman of the Alabama Society of Certified Public Accountants and as the local chapter president. He is a member of the Finance Committee for the American Business Media.
