"We are also grateful for the service of Bernard J. Duroc-Danner, who has chosen to step down in light of his extensive business commitments."

Brown served as chairman, president and chief executive officer of Consol Energy, Inc. and its predecessor companies from 1977 to 1999. He also was senior vice president of DuPont, Consol's controlling shareholder, from 1982 to 1992.
