    Klug joins Ford Division from Leo Burnett, U.S.A's Chicago office where

    "We are extremely pleased to have a person with Janet's wide range of

operations for Ford Division.  Donnelly has served as Ford Division's
marketing communications manager and national advertising manager since 1994.
    At Ford Division, Klug will be responsible for developing and implementing
advertising and communication strategies for all Ford Division products.  She
will report to Hazel.
    Klug joined Leo Burnett 13 years ago and became an account supervisor for
Pillsbury in 1990.  Klug was named a vice president in 1991; one year later,
she became account director for McDonald's Corporation and, in 1993, she was
named account director for Oldsmobile.  She joined the Hallmark account as
senior vice president in 1997.
    Klug has bachelor's and master's degrees in business from the University
