November 8

1942: "To St. Vincent's at 7:30 with Holy Name Society.  Left at 11:45 for St. Nazianz to visit Donald (son).  Took along Aunt Lena Baier and Joe and Anna Weisheipl.  Donald is looking well; brought him a violin made by Titus in 1906 for Phil Laffey.  It should be well broken in after 35 years of exercise.  The Dramatic Guild at the seminary put on a play Salvanarola The Flame of Florence.  The play was well rendered.  On our way home stopped at Miller's Restaurant Chilton for a nice meal.  On our arrival home, took Lena out to Ann Ostertag's.  Little Jimmie has a birthday.  Anna Weisheipl played bingo at Sacred Heart and won 5 times." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1946: "Aloys and Mary Drexler 907 7th St. are married 25 years today.  They have four children: Richard, Mrs. Florence Kuklinski, Dennis, and Gertrude Drexler. Thirty-nine years ago I boarded with Aloys' grandmother Theresa Drexler at this same address." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
