Three Wishes

When the question of three wishes was directed to Roy Eldgridge he replied:

  1. “To finish my course as a radio and television technician, so as to not have to blow that horn anymore.”
  2. “Enough money to buy my own club.”
  3. “Hold the war off for ten years – that’s long enough, I’ll be sixty then – so I can collect some money!”
