Why, it’s Foster Friess, the über-Republican investor and philanthropist with a heart big enough to match his ego.
Foster isn’t shy about sharing his opinions. He has a Web site devoted to promoting his ideas on reforming education, health care, the legal system, taxes and immigration, among other topics.
He cares, and I like that about him. His generosity is motivated by his deeply held Christian beliefs.

Last week I was privileged to take part in the “Legends of the Snake” a float trip, a benefit for the Snake River Fund.
The event brought together many of the pioneers of river running and fly fishing in Jackson Hole: Frank Ewing, Dick Barker, Charlie Sands, John Simms, Dave Hansen, Jack Dennis and Paul Bruun. A collection of great guides and storytellers, they are the Jedi Masters of the Snake.
