December 16

1953: "A nice day but cold about 7° above this morning. Paid last respects to Paul Sitter this morning at Konrads.  Visited Martha Hein Stauber at Mercy.  She is in Room 115.  Her arm is still in traction.  Met Mrs. John Birmingham in the same room.  Dropped in to see Joe Weisheipl Jr.  He is in room 146.  Took Marge to work." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1956: "To 7:30 Hi Mass - Father Schorn.  We are very busy at the store.  Took Mother to Berlin to pick up her fur coat and Mary Ann's. (daughter).  Markie (grandson) spends time with Mother while Don (son) and family are at church.  He is in love with our Mickey Mouse cookie jar.  This afternoon K.C. Children's party.  They all get a box of chocolates, that's it." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
