Clark Stringham is one of the original founders of the Ronald McDonald House Intermountain Area. He played a huge role in going from bank-to-bank to secure funding to break ground on the House, he found companies to build out the first 23 bathrooms, and, with the help of his 10-year-old son, laid shingles on the roof. As an owner/operator of McDonald's restaurants, Clark continues his support of RMHC today through fundraising. In this episode, Clark talks about how the original RMHC Intermountain Area founders broke ground on the House, what his funniest memories of that time are, and what he loves about the mission.
