DG: Okay. So when we, before we go on to Korea, let's back up and get married here. [Laughs] So you met --

BU: Well, I got married three months before I graduated medical school. You see, (Ruth's brother) was my roommate in college Washington State...

DG: Was her brother.

BU: Brother, so he says, "When you get back there, come and, come and see me because I get date with your sister." [Laughs] That's how it happened. So I went there and I -- oh, about a year, year and half, I guess, every holiday come along, Christmas, can't come back here, it's too far so, therefore, I went there.

DG: This is in Cleveland, right?

BU: Cleveland, Ohio.

DG: And so you went to visit the family.

BU: Yeah, family, and then, and then they had only one girl. So all during the time I was there, it was her job to entertain me, I guess. That was all right.

DG: Okay. And so you got married in 1949, I think you said.

BU: Yeah.

DG: So then she stayed here while you went to Korea?

BU: Yeah, right. She stayed, she stayed here or in Cleveland when I went to Korea.

DG: Was she here when you came to the residency, then you were married already?

BU: Yeah, we were married already. We got married --

DG: And you had a child by then.

BU: Uh-huh, that's right. We had my oldest boy. You know, that's kind of funny when you think about it, it's almost fifty years. This coming year it will be fifty years. This year we will have our fiftieth.
