:03:02
I picked that as the cemetery
for my own coIIie.
:03:07
Right across the street
from where I lived in Los Altos...
:03:12
was the most beautiful piece of land...
:03:15
as far as I was concerned,
in the whole valley.
:03:18
And, boy, I knew what to do with it.:
:03:22
make that into a pet cemetery.
:03:25
I thought, ''Well, this is going to be
my project of life. ''
:03:28
I found the land, I found the need.
:03:31
Something the old-timers
used to tell me years ago.:
:03:35
''To be successful in this world
and life, find a need and fill it. ''
:03:42
And, boy, I found a need and I wanted
to fulfill this more than anything.
:03:47
More than anything I did my whole
life, I wanted to fulfill this dream.
:03:59
And there is where we started our work.
:04:04
PIanning, deveIopment,
and getting the peopIe interested.
:04:10
Working with....
:04:11
I worked with
Carnation Pet Food Company...
:04:16
Safeway Stores, Lucky Stores.
:04:20
SeveraI.
:04:22
I remember taIking with Dicky Euwe...
:04:26
of Dick's Supermarkets...
:04:28
and asking him if I couId come
and work in his pet food section...
:04:33
and just hand out my cards
and taIk to the peopIe...
:04:36
about having a pet cemetery.
:04:39
I went to grooming shops,
I went to veterinarians.
:04:45
And the interest I got was
just phenomenaI. It was just great.
:04:52
So then I had to get
some more interested peopIe...
:04:57
in the idea of it,
because we needed the financing.
