“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you 1 on, something good will happen some day.”
Mother was right, as I 2 after graduating from college. I had 3 myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 4 every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that 5 stations wouldn’t employ a person without 6 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, 7 I had finished my high school education and had 8 in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to 9 its sports department. The job sounded just 10 for me but I wasn’t hired.
My disappointment had 11 as if by design. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom 12 me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me 13 had already hired an announcer. 14 I left his office, I asked aloud, “ 15 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if 16 can’t get a job in a radio station?” Suddenly, I heard the director 17 , “Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to 18 an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 19 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 20 Saturday.
