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]

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]
