November 19

1950: "To 7:30 Mass St. Vincent's Fahter Koehn, Lady Foresters Communion Sunday.  Arlene (daughter-in-law) attends with Mother and Mary Ann (daughter).  Donald (son) is with me at the service.  Father Koehn explains the meaning of indulgences.  Worked this morning and this evening until eight.  Then to Fretschl's for cards.  Mama won 85 cents. I lost 25 cents.  Annie Heip did not win a game." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1955: "Marge Haverty gets the news from Father Shuh that the Cancery at Green Bay is not allowing her application for divorce from Joe Weisheipl. Well, it's beginning to look and feel like winter out.  Donald and Arlene (son and daughter-in-law) get a Philco T.V. set." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
