Great responsibility for Slmp-
son Timber Company leadership
has been the lot of William G.
Reed, only surviving son of Mark
E. Reed. Two other sons, Sol and
l%ank Reed met tragic deaths.
Reed's family owns some eighty
per cent of the Company, and Reed
had to meet the challenges of de-
ciding whether to rest comfort-
ably on the laurels of the past or
to surge forward in a tough, com-
petitive field.
Reed chose the harder path,
surrounded himself with effective,
knowledgeable men in all phases
of timber company operations and
forged ahead to keep Simpson a
leader in the industry.
Reed was called back fron~ duty
with the Navy during' ~v'orld War
II to direct the Company after the
~udden death of Frank Reed, who
had been president. Since that
time, Bill Reed has been president
wire and now serve~ as chairman.
