"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you
36 on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had
37 myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was
38 every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that
39 stations wouldn't employ a person without
40 since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had
41 in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just
42 for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had
43 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum
44 me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.
45 I left his office, I asked aloud,"
46 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director
47 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to
48 an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was
49 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the
50 Saturday.
