Mr. Sanford in Scottsdale, Ariz. “The state has been so good to me,” Mr. Sanford says of South Dakota.

Mr. T. Denny Sanford, a low-key billionaire who made his home and fortune in South Dakota, will help sustain the state’s economic boom with a $400 million gift to the Sioux Valley Hospitals and Health System, the state’s largest employer. Wowwwww! What a heart! I hope more people like him will do this kind of kindness, not for popularity sake, but for the sake of true kindness and helping the people in need. God bless you sir! More power to you.
