“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I was faced with disappointment. “If you
on, one day something
will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that

for a job in radio, then
my way up to sports announcer. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station--
got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring a(n)
person. So I went home to Dixon, Illinois.

Saturday’s football game!

words: “If you carry on, ..”I often wonder what direction life might have
0if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
