1957: "This is the big pancake-sausage day for the 'swimming pool' put on by us Kiwanians. This noon I had the pleasure of being with Mrs. Ella Meyer Christensen and Dr. Martin. Hadn't seen Ella for years. No job for me at this time. Thres played Court Whist at Zwicky's 1841 Doty this P.M. Mrs. Zwicky entertained ladies auxiliary S.S.B.M. (Note: South Side Business Men) Took Marge, Mary Ann, Mother to the Masonic Temple for pancakes and sausage at 4:30. I really got a job this time. Wally Zahn set me to dishing out the sausages, worked 2 ½ hours, dished out sausages for at least 1000 people. It was a never ending line from 4:30 to 7:00 o'clock, but it was fun." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
