“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 ahead.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had decided to 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.
While I was what to do, my father said Montgomery Ward had a store and wanted a local to manage its sports department. The job sounded just for me. But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom
me. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.
Stepping out of his office with a broken heart, I asked , “How can a get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station.” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard the director calling, “What was that you said about ? Do you know anything about ?” I nodded. Then he stood me before a and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. I did a 15-minute build-up, and was told I would be Saturday’s football game!
On my way home, as I had done many times since, I thought of words: “If you carry on, ...” I often wonder what direction life might have if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
