Rome, N.Y. -- Major General Raymond F. Shields, the Adjutant General for the State of New York, announces the recent promotion of Paul M. Bishop to the rank of Brigadier General. Bishop serves as the New York Air National Guard Chief of Staff. The promotion ceremony took place on Sep. 6 at the Capitol Theatre in Rome. Maj. Gen. Denise M. Donnell, New York State Air National Guard Commander, was the ceremony's presiding officer. A life-long resident of nearby Oriskany, Bishop has a lengthy association with the former Griffiss Air Force Base, now the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, where EADS is located. The son of an active-duty Airman stationed at Griffiss in the 1970s, Bishop's mother also worked on the base. The new Commander's first job as a teenager was bagging groceries at the Griffiss commissary and he has served at EADS for the past 29 years.
