DG: Now, was there any doubt in your mind about going on to school? I mean, you went on to the university

RM: Uh-huh.

DG: Was education stressed in your family?

RM: Yeah. I thought that was very important. I think so.

DG: Your father or your mother or both?

RM: I think my mother more.

DG: Oh, that's right. Mary was ahead of you. Did she go away to the university at all?

RM: No, she didn't. I was the only one.

DG: Okay. But what did she do after she graduated?

RM: Well, she got married in -- I forgot what year that was.

DG: Pretty young then.

RM: Yeah, to Fujii.

DG: So was she married by the time you went to the university?

RM: Oh, I don't think she was married by that time.
