Huntsman senior steps up
Jon Huntsman Sr., not the governor son but Big Daddy who turned humongous profits making plastic in Texas — but wants to be remembered for the cancer institute in Utah, gave a struggling Rexburg, Idaho, family a check for $100,000.

The Clark family has four children, all in wheelchairs with muscular dystrophy, a fifth child died.

"I was shocked. I was just shocked.," said mom Ruth Clark. "I mean I've always heard that he's been kind and generous, but I never would have imagined that it would have happened to us."

People in the Rexburg area kicked in another $200,000 at a fundraiser to help the family.

Say what you want to about his politics or his fishing buddies, Sr. has a heart of gold.
