Bl150Two down... one to go? Following Nintendo senior vice president George Harrison's confirmation that he will step down at the end of December, the company's senior director of public relations Beth Llewelyn said today that she will also leave.

Nintendo is moving its sales and marketing division from Seattle to the San Francisco Bay Area this year, and it has been rumored for quite a while that the division's top three people would choose to stay with their families in Seattle.

Vice president Perrin Kaplan has yet to announce her decision.

Llewelyn's last day will be Friday, September 28. "I'll be taking some time off to be a full-time mom for a bit," she said in an emailed statement today. A successor to her position has not been named.
