TI: So now I want to go to after Highline High School. So you graduate from Highline, what did you do after Highline, after graduating?

MO: I found another job where I could go to the University of Washington.

TI: And what kind of job did --

MO: Same kind, housework where I could get room and board and go to school.

TI: And what did you study at the University of Washington?

MO: Have a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in nursing.

TI: And why nursing? Why'd you choose nursing?

MO: Well, because I got room and board. [Laughs]

TI: So you're, so very practical in terms of thinking a degree there, it would be a good job.

MO: That was probably, right, probably that was it.

TI: You could always find a room and board for your skills and things like that. Now where, did you practice as a nurse?

MO: I did, at Harborview for a while, even after we were married, huh?

TI: Because with your husband we talked a little bit about how, well maybe not exactly how you met, but then the three legged race.

MO: Race, yeah.

TI: So tell me about that. I mean, from your perspective, what...

MO: It was that SYNKOA picnic, wasn't it? [Laughs] I don't know how we matched up, but we won the three legged race, and I guess we must've started dating from that time on. I imagine that was the start of it actually.

TI: Now, so was it the type of thing where you were more interested in him, or was he more interested in you back then?

MO: I don't know. It was probably a pretty mutual thing, I imagine.

TI: Okay. Well that's, that's good.
