December 11

1947: "Thres and Annie Heip do some shopping this afternoon.  Jackie Mauritz is in to show me her police dog.  Thres attended South Side Business Men's Christmas party tonite.  Busses picked up the folks at Security Bank, took them to Deniger's Farm Implements where they serve beer and give flowers, then to Putney's where the folks watch a money sorting machine, then to Johnson's new building where they are shown how potato chips are made.  Worked 11 1/2 hours today." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1948: "Ven. Sister Romano has a fall this morning when getting out of bed and broke her collarbone in three places.  Donald (son) leaves for Chicago on the 5:06 afternoon train.  All Stars beat Hammond 50-45.  Elsie Wagner comes home form the hospital." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
