"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.
