Dick McFarland’s parents grew up in two small towns in Iowa. They moved to Chicago where his father was in the investment business. During the Depression, his business went broke and the family came to Minneapolis... While Dick inherited a wealth of core values from his parents, it was a former boss, Wheelock Whitney, who first introduced him to the value of giving back.

..Wheelock gave Dick a month to come up with two organizations where he’d like to get involved. With guidance from a friend, Dick — a novice to the nonprofit sector — chose the United Way and Junior Achievement. “And that’s what started me on my career of being involved in this community,” Dick said.
