The idea for FootWhere was conceived by its creator in response to a friend's request of what would he desire for a souvenir from his impending trip to Bombay, India to perform missionary work. After diligent consideration of this request and realizing that no current souvenir memento was unique enough to fulfill his desire from such a far away place, Mr. Turner's reply was "DIRT". What!, was the response exclaimed by the friend who in turn asked, " And just what do you intend to do with that?" Mr. Turner's reply was, "At present, I do not know". Further brainstorming on Mr. Turner part revealed to him that soil (earth) captured in an attractive and appealing manner would serve as a pleasing and authentic souvenir memento indicative of a person having set foot upon a particular destination. Thus, the FootWhere concept was realized and as a consequence Mr. Turner formed a new company, FootWhereUSA Group, Inc., to manufacture, market and distribute this new souvenir staple.
