"Chris" Kreienbaum, who Cooperative Sustained Yield Con- retired March 1, 1960, was one of Simpson Timber Company's out- standing leaders, helping to shape many important long-range poli- cies during his thirty-five years with the Company. Born in Indiana and working thirteen years in Tacoma with the Dempsey Lumber Company, Krct- enbaum came with Simpson in 1925. Mark E. Reed offered him a position as sales manager of the Reed Mill Company, operating the former Mill One in Shelton. Kreienbaum was a right-hand nmn to Reed until Reed died in 1933, and by !939 he had become executive vice president of Simp- Cent. ]son, With Reed's sons, Frank and of znventory:William, he helped shape Simp- items son's program toward long-range the planning for l)ermanence. SOME OF THE STEPS in this Proces-modern planning were the 1941 Luring con-~ purchase of Henry McCleary's Simpson .timber, .properties in Shelton and McCleary, signing of the Shelton tract in 1946, construction of the Insulation Board Plant in 1947 and purchase of California redwood properties in the 1940's. One of Kreienbaum's projects was developing centralized re- search. Other things he encourag- ed were promotion, forestry and public relations programs to serve the Company as a whole. IN 1945, KRIENBAUM be- came president of Simpson, but for health reasons he took the less demanding job of vice chairman in 1950. He led the development of the Company's redwood operations in the early 1950's. In addition to his work with Simpson, Kreienbaum was active in community and industry af- fairs. He nerved as president of West Coast Lumbermen's Associ- ation and of the Shelton Chamber of Commerce. Chris Kreienbaum and his wife the former Freda Grover, now live in Seattle. C H KREIENBAUM ....... Retired President When Jack goes to work for the Simpson Timber Company, he needn't be a dull boy .... there's: plenty of play in the Simpson Recreation Association. A 1 o n g with Jack's job goes an automat- ic fl~e membership in the associa- tion: an organization designed to provide the types of recreation Simpson employees and their fam- ilies want. The SRA, established in 1947, is a self-governing group operating with the assistance of the Person- nel Department. It spends around $6,000 annually on recreation, in- .cluding bowling, golf, baseball, softball, fishing, pinochle, skating, :swimming, picnicking, camping, boating and photography. their favorite recreation available EMPLOYEES WHO don't find are encouraged to approach the SRA and help set it up. Money to run the organization comes half from the vending machines in the plants and offices and half as a donation from the Company, ac- cording to Jerry Johnson, person- nel representative. The most popular item on the recreation list is bowling, with 200 persons actively participating and three complete leagues going. All children of the commurdty are invited to take part in free skating told s~.imming sessions offered twice monthly hy the SRA. Some 200 children enjoy the skat- the association is the developmentI of a 100-acre site along Mason Lake, whose seven miles offer ex-! eellent water sports. There are 25 cleared acres pro. viding large camping areas with fireplaces in each, covered picnic areas, kitchens, dressing rooms with showers, electric lighting and a diving float and swimming beach. The Mason Lake site, 15 miles distant, is open to Simpson em- ployees all (lay every day from the first week in June until mid- September, Johnson said. Its at- at $1 a year, got great impetus in 1957 when Arthur Godfrey and a television group camped a week at the site and beamed a daily pro- ~m: from there, With tlie aid of special towel's set up On nearby mountains. Much land-clearing and im- provement-building was done at that time. The Godfrey crew was rewarded with rain almost cvery day of its stay! THE SRA HAS THREE active divisions, at Shelton, McCleary and Camp Grisdale.
