22 MANN: Yes, I finally married a man who didn't think there was anything more exciting than bugs. HENSON: It gave you a whole new perspective on it, right? MANN: Yes. I wanted a magazine or publishing house, a little more variety. Bureau of Entomology was good practice, as far as proofreading and editing and learning all the correct signs. [BEGIN TAPE I, SIDE II] HENSON: Okay, we are in New York City. How did you feel about leaving New York and coming back down, looking forward to it? MANN: I was in love. [Laughter] Yes, it was fine because it wasn't like going to a strange city. I knew Washington and loved it. I'd seen the apartment that Bill had bought, and we were going to move into it. I brought a few sticks of furniture with me from New York and from home in Ann Arbor. Most of the first few weeks we sat around on packing cases; we didn't have chairs. We had a card table for the dining table, and that sort of thing. We made out, and of course, it was very convenient. We were on Adams Mill Road which is near one of the entrances to the zoo, and it took Bill five minutes to walk to his office. Of course he came home for lunch because we were so close, and he always brought people with him. There was never a dull day. HENSON: Oh, I bet. Did you have any trepidation about moving in with a zoo keeper and living just five minutes from the zoo?
