DG: Let's go on to when you met Ken.

SS: Actually I met him on a blind date. He had a car with this guy named Stanley Nakahara. And my two girlfriends had dates but their dates didn't have a car. But they knew Ken had a car and so my girlfriends said, if I would go with them then they have a car and so I told them I didn't believe in blind dates. So I gotta' see the guy first. So Ken came and I told my girlfriend, no, I don't think so. But eventually they talked me into it and we went out. And I think that was one of the fortunate things of my being in Japan.

DG: Where did you go?

SS: Oh... must have been to a... party somewhere, I think. Ken might remember.

DG: So it wasn't love at first sight?

SS: [Laughs] No.

DG: How did you get to know him?

SS: Oh, he would call and I would go out with him. And then, for a while we separated and then, we came back again. And... that's it.
