  If You Own Or Owned Property With 
CEMENT/WOOD FIBER ROOFING 
Manufactured by American Cemwood Corp.

You May Be Affected By a Proposed Class Action Settlement.

A proposed partial settlement establishing a guaranteed $105 million
settlement fund has been reached with Weyerhaeuser Company Limited,
formerly known as MacMillan Bloedel Limited and MacMillan Bloedel
(U.S.A.), Inc. in the class action lawsuit, Richison et al. v.
Weyerhaeuser Company Limited et al.  The Plaintiffs in this lawsuit allege
that cement/wood fiber roofing made by American Cemwood Corp. is
defective.  Defendants deny these allegations.  Most of the claims of
class members against American Cemwood Corp. and its insurance carriers
are not affected by this settlement.

If you owned, own, or acquire property on which Cemwood roofing is or has
been installed and live in one of the following states, you could be
eligible to make a claim under the Settlement Agreement:  Alaska, Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and
Wyoming.  This class action does not include property in the state of
Colorado.

The last day to comment on, object to, or exclude yourself from the
litigation class and this settlement is May 5, 2000.  A Fairness Hearing
regarding the settlement will be held on May 26, 2000.

Cemwood Shakes, Permatek Shakes, Permatek II Shakes, Trieste Tiles,
Pacific Slate, Royal Shakes, and Cascade Shakes are a unique building
product, composed of 2/3 Portland cement and 1/3 wood fiber, formed to
look like a cedar shake, slate, or tile roofing product.  Some of the
shakes may be stamped with "A/C," "Permatek," the letter "T," or the
letter "P."
