This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet. Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students League. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. About The Author Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908.
