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. iii i • . Sac. Kilns Made Possible - ' ................ " ......................................
