my turf was 5th and 6th streets, between mission and brannen. all of those s.r.o. hotels. was also quite eye-opening. i am retired. [bell ringing] i was a small business owner. and i care deeply about a.c.c. and i care deeply about animals. this is a certificate. i took a course from the humane society of silicon valley. i'm getting -- i gave some of these to victor. i also wrote -- let's see. i used to write articles. this is an article from 2006 "the woofer times." it's about auxiliary group raises funds for a.c.c. dog park. and i also wrote -- oh, mood -- my goodness. let me just get this one more thing and i'll get out of your way. i also wrote an article for abatement woof and this is from 2007. march of 2007, walking shelter dogs is a labor of love. so it's about -- to encourage volunteerism. so that's -- yeah, pretty much it. you know, i really -- i still volunteer at the shelter. i go in on thursday mornings. you can find me there between 8:30 and noon. and i volunteer on sundays as well, between around 9:00 and 1:00. >> supervisor ronen: wonderful. thank you. >> t

[laughter]. >> thank you very much for your service, commissioners. i will be very brief. there is a reason why i wanted to be here. i work in the south bay. it i thought it was important for me to be here. naming any kind of public space or public building after any individual is a challenge. i just went through the naming of t
