March 17

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
1934: "Hollywood Tavern 299 Harrison St. operated by George Thoma was completely destroyed by fire early this morning with the loss of 8000 dollars." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1955: "Saw a nice St. Patrick's Day presentation on television this afternoon sponsored by the League of Prayer who advocated the daily recitation of the Holy Rosary in every family. We got a new "Country Sedan" Ford Station Wagon today. Of course Donald (son) will drive it most of the time, and I hope he gets good use out of it. Ann Ostertag had some prescriptions filled. She has taken a number of tests and they show no signs of cancer..." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
