Dr. Clark: Outstanding athlete, better known for his generosity The life of Dr. Carl D. Clark exemplifies a life of service and compassion. Having survived the Great depression and having learned from it, Carl kept a goal in mind that he wanted to excel in all his pursuits. From vaulting over ditches and fences with a rake handle at age five, he went to the Utah Sports Hall of Fame for having had a great athletic career throughout high school and BYU. Ifl 1942, Carl enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he served as a pilot instructor in 7 until World War II ended. Dental school seemed a worthwhile challenge and, with the G.I. Bill to help, Carl began his studies at Northwestern University at Chicago in the fall of 1946. After the death of Dr. Farnsworth in Magna, Dr. Clark purchased dental equipment from his widow and began what would be 40 years of service in his profession. Along the way he was a member of the Salt Lake County Board of Health for 20 years; president of the Magna Mosquito Abatement District and the Utah Mosquito Abatement Association; president of the Oquirrh Fund; and president of the Old Time Athletes Association. At present he is present of the BYU Emeritus Alumni Association and serves as an ordinance worker in the Jordan River Temple.
