February 9

1942: "Eddie Weisheipl takes another day off. Had to set our clocks ahead one hour early this morning, orders are for 2 A.M. but Donald (son) set ours ahead long before this. We call it 'Daylight Saving Time' but I think the government designated it as 'Standard War Time.' We in Wisconsin call it 'Central War Time.' Dr. Loyd Helmes starts all over again in Oshkosh today." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1949: "Attended committee meeting 4th degree K.C. at Tony Serwas tonite. It's all about the proposed building of a Catholic Hi School in Oshkosh. A tract of land south of the baseball park on Sawyer Ave. is available thru Bill Rasmussen. Monsignor Bastian - Fathers Reul - Murphy - Bunkleman are present. Nora serves a delicious buffet lunch.  Toni serves the hi balls." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1955: "Father Schorn phones me that the 'New Tabernacle' is in place and blessed at St. Vincent's. It is my way of saying 'Thank You' for the many Blessings we have enjoyed thru the years..."[from A. E. Potter's diaries]
