Paper War Rages On

According to a Wall Street Journal report, when Willamette booked the main ballroom at the Portland Art Museum for the annual meeting, Weyerhaeuser stealthily booked the remaining rooms under a different name.

Unfortunately for Weyerhaeuser, among the museum's benefactors are William Swindells and his wife, Ann, who have donated somewhere between $500,000 and $749,000. Once Weyerhaeuser's name came to light two weeks after the rooms were booked, the museum quickly refunded the company's money.
