1936: "Some Winter. Out of 38 days we had 35 days below zero weather. This is a record that the old timers can't beat. Ripon Municipal Hospital is opened to the public today." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1942: "To 6 o'clock Mass at St. John's. A Jesuit Father offers the Mass. He also makes a plea for the Jesuit Missions, and a collection is taken for them. He tells us that Phillipine and American soldiers were trained at the Jesuit Military Colleges in the Phillipines. Took Joe and Annie Weisheipl to the Strand Theatre to see Olsen and Johnson in Hellzapoppin. They are supported by Martha Raye, Mischa Auer, Hugh Herbert, and Robert Paige. It's about the craziest, funniest picture we have seen." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
