March 24

1943: "A lovely spring day, temperature up to 50. Looked over James Kinsler's house today. We might buy it if the price is right. To St. Vincent's church service tonite with Mother and Mary Ann (daughter). Father Ott speaks on 'Anger.' After church sent a package of cookies and goodies to Donald (son)." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954: "Mary Ann (daughter) and me to 6:45 Mass. I'm a little late. Paid last respects to Elmer Rand at Milton Seefeldt's this morning. Rose Weisheipl is at Appleton tonite with her sister Mary to view their new television. Bob works nights this week. He is even learning to knit. Well, it's all in his job to learn about the different machines at Zwicker Knitting Mills. WOSH-TV closed down their radio station yesterday. Not enough financial support to keep it going." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
