  Education	1941	University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA   [2]
  	Bachelor of Music
  Occupation	1941	Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, USA
  	Teacher, Corpus Christi High School
  	Per his notes, he taught at Corpus Christi schools for some time. I've found a listing in the 1942 CC City Directory for a Harold Mueller, "tchr Sr High School" and renting at 3641 Shell Rd, which is now Up River Rd. According to records from the Corpus Christi ISD, he was paid $1,440 (equivalent to $27,464 in 2021) for the 1941-42 school year as an Assistant Band Director. The records include a glowing recommendation from William Revelli, then Director of Bands at the University of Michigan. "One of the finest seniors of this year's class. Mr. Mueller has what it takes. He is a high class gentleman, scholar, musician. Makes a good appearance, is an excellent musician, has initiative, and is easy to get along with. I recommend him very highly."
