TI: So how did your life change now that you're a married woman?

MH: I glowed. Lucius had to go back to Seoul, but before he went, he searched all over Tokyo for a home for us. And I remember that this particular man, who knew him quite well and worked with him, he said, "I never knew that Lucius had such a nesting instinct." [Laughs] And Lucius did find a place for us before he went back, and then he was, he switched over to Tokyo and we were there together. I remember that the agent that was, he was taking him all around town to show him the places that we were going to maybe rent, and Lucius was really driving because he's good at that anyway. But he was driving this guy to find the place, and then finally the man said to him, "Don't push, Mr. Horiuchi!" [Laughs]

TI: [Laughs] Oh, that doesn't surprise me for some reason. So I'm curious, from a career standpoint, do things change after you get married? I mean, first you're a single woman, you're on this career path, and now that you get married, your flexibility in terms of probably traveling or being assigned to different places changes. Does that change your career?

MH: Well, eventually, no, it didn't. Because I resigned, I would have been going on, but I resigned when we came back to the States at the end of the tour.

TI: Okay. Well, so in some ways it did, because you left...

MH: I left it, but I left it voluntarily. It wasn't any notion that my career would be stunted in any way.
