Bricklaying was well under way, and under gaunt girders workmen were installing machinery. Alongside, workmen were inlaying the turf with the seven great runways of a new airport...

Three of that group are men who began in the Austin High period: bespectacled Joe Sullivan, who learned his piano at the Chicago Conservatory; gaunt, elfin "Pee Wee" Russell, famed for his thin, jetting runs and husky growls on the clarinet; boyish-looking, elliptical-screwball-talking Eddie Condon, who can make his guitar a whole rhythm section...
