" Then I left that job and I worked for Garland Powell at the radio station, WRUF. At that time it was just 
before World War II. He could see that it was coming. Actually, I suppose it was 1941 and we had been attacked, 
and he could see that the boys that did the announcing would be drafted probably, so I went to apply for a 
job as a secretary and he gave me a test with a microphone, and I thought, Well, that's an interesting way to 
interview for a secretary,- but it wasn't any problem, and he hired me to be an announcer. I had some secretarial 
duties but I was going to be an announcer. I thought that was wonderful. I loved that. It was quite a lot of fun 
working there. I was the only girl, and these boys were very serious about their work but they also played tricks 
on each other like setting your script on fire as you were reading. There was this news thing that would come over 
the ticker tape and it would be a long thing, and the bottom would start flaming! They would do things to distract you..."
