LOS ANGELES COUNTY - News from Jan. 25, 1987

Tiger International, the Los Angeles-based parent of the Flying Tiger air cargo line, named two directors and expanded board membership to 11 from 10.

Joining the board are Ralph Strangis, 50, a corporate lawyer in the Minneapolis law firm of Kaplan, Strangis & Kaplan, and Lowell C. Frieberg, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Reliance Group Holdings, a firm controlled by New York financier Saul P. Steinberg. Steinberg is Tiger’s biggest shareholder and with related interests controls 17.7% of Tiger’s shares.

Strangis was the outside counsel to Republic Air until that airline was merged into Northwest Airlines last January. Tiger Chairman and Chief Executive Stephen M. Wolf was formerly the president and chief executive of Republic and worked closely with Strangis on the merger.
