- 6:20Speaker 1: I was the oldest of three children and was only

- 6:50Speaker 1: I had devised a method of pressure cooking chicken and

- 6:57Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty two. My international expansion was groundbreaking, and
- 7:01Speaker 1: with more than six hundred locations by nineteen sixty four,
