George Weyerhaeuser, the nine-year old son of prominent lumberman J.P. Weyerhaeuser of Tacoma, Washington was kidnapped by Waley, his wife and another man. He was caught, convicted and put in prison in 1935. He was paroled from the United States Penitentiary, McNeil Island, Washington, on June 3, 1963, at the age of 52. Waley wrote to his victim from prison on several occasions, apologizing for his actions. When he was released, he asked for a job. In a demonstration of compassion George Weyerhaeuser found a job for Waley at one of his Oregon plants. See booking photo below.
