"Benevolent oil tycoon born in Russell, Kansas son of Emily and Carl Anschutz and father of railroad magnate Philip F. Anschutz. A graduate of the University of Kansas he made his fortune in oil and gas exploration. With his early exploration sucesses, in 1966, Fred Anschutz aquired land in Utah, now known as Anschutz Ranch East, and made his vast fortune when he found large oil reserves on the land.

In 1981, Anschutz suffered a stroke which led him to establish the Anschutz Family Foundation, and in turn founded the National Stroke Association.

Anschutz was well known for his philanthropy, through the Anschutz Family Foundation he contributed more than $8 million to the needy of Colorado. He donated $1.4 million to the University Kansas for the Anschutz Sports Pavillion and endowed a number of academic scholarships to help undergraduate Kansan students.

His wife, Marian Pfister Anschutz, died in 1986 and he is survived by his son, Philip, and daughter, Sue Anschutz Rodgers, and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren."^[5]
