EG: But also, while you were in Japan, you continued your education. How did that come about?

TM: Oh, I thought it would be nice if I got a degree from a university in Japan. So I talked to a friend of mine, a Japanese friend of mine, about that, and he introduced me to a university and they wanted to see my transcript from the University of Washington. And I showed them and they gave me a credit for just about all the subjects that I completed here. So I didn't have much to go. And I did go some evening classes and attended lecture, and about a year later they give me a diploma.

EG: A BA in Economics. Uh-huh. You were a business major at the UW and then finished that there.

TM: So I have two degrees.

EG: Now you have two bachelor's degrees and two high school diplomas. [Laughs]

TM: Two high school diplomas. [Laughs]

EG: You do everything twice. [Laughs]
