1942: "At 12:40 A.M. I have a call from Henry Kieckhafer telling me someone had broken into our Oregon St. store. After investigating I find that both cash registers had been rifled, one of about 35 dollars, the other about 5 dollars. No merchandise seems to be taken. Well, we're lucky. The safe has not been touched. I get to bed at 2:30 this morning. Well, up again at 5:15, shave, and attend 6 o'clock Mass at St. John's." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]

Harry and Agnes Kujawa drop in about 9 o'clock for a short visit. Georgi M. Malenkov, 51 years old tank and plane production expert succeeds Joseph Stalin." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
