1952: "Eddie brings Florence and baby boy (Jim) home from the hospital this afternoon. Got plenty of exercise this morning, an all night snowfall and is was the wet and heavy kind. Fortunately Donald (son) came over to help me. Tonite I begin getting out greeting cards, 50 of them, and then the weekly trip to Uncle Joe Heip's to deliver two coffee cakes for their Sunday breakfast. And to the Post Office at 10:30 P.M." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1953: "To 7:30 Hi Mass - Father Wagner. To work at 9:15. Took over Post Office window from 10-12:30 and from 6 to 8 in the evening. Waited on approximately 450 people. My feet are rather tired tonite. Ate a little too much lunch after work and could not get to sleep until 1 A.M." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
