Let your talents

Edwin G. Leever

Recently I was in a city park, listening to a dance band playing popular music of the forties. Did it bring back memories! You see, back in the forties, I played the piano in a dance band. It wasn't with one of the big-name band leaders such as Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey. It was with Stew and Lile, the "Windy Wolves." We were a high-school dance band. But I can honestly—and humbly—say that we were good! It was great fun for all of us, and we were even asked to play at many places other than school functions.

I learned not to run away from challenges to my abilities.
