1939: "Attended meeting of Executive Committee Red Cross. Voted appropriations to sponsor course in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, also to sponsor Garment Production Program. Mrs. Mace and Rev. Oberleiter attend our meeting. Attended 7 o'clock Mass this morning. Took Anna Drexler, Ottilia Mugerauer, Mary (Aunt Mary)Drexler and Thres to Alexian Brothers Hospital to see Uncle John Drexler. He is sleeping and we had no chance to talk to him." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954 : "Today marks the end of the Marian Year, a year filled with spiritual benefit and blessings and special indulgences granted by the Holy Father Pope Pius XII. He is feeling somewhat better and is in hopes he may be able to give his Christmas Blessing from the Vatican. We attend 6:30 Mass. Heard a rather unusual concert tonite, a Piano Trio: George Fiore, Esther Fernandez, and Stephens Kovacs. They surely are real artists." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
