Mrs. Hogan explained in detail the process of how Governor Hogan had been diagnosed with a sort of cancer called Hodgkins Lymphoma in June of last year, and how after six months of struggling and treatments, he has now been finally declared cancer-free. She said, “Even while going through exhausting chemotherapy treatments, my husband never ceased to continue his work as a governor, and for approved documents worked with IVs being injected.” She further added, “If I look back at the past year, it feels like I am watching a movie,” and emphasized, “We strongly withstood the trials and troubles, and now wish to become an example to cancer patients so that they can never give up and can fight until the end.”


Mrs. Hogan said that she was spreading the culture of Korea to the American society, and that she fully supports economical interchange in Maryland, and received an enthusiastic round of applause. Hogan went on to say, “After the inauguration of my husband, Korea was the first country to be visited overseas, and within the congressional residence of Maryland lies a Kimchi refrigerator,” and added, “My husband now enjoys Korean food.” Later she added, “My husband designated the 5th of April as Taekwondo Day, and even performed a demonstration of smashing a board at a Taekwondo Competition.”...
