April 23

1944: "To St. John's Church 7:30 Mass with Mary Ann. This is a big day for her even tho it rains most of the day. Rose Weisheipl takes her to Madame Curie at the Strand. In the evening she is confirmed by Bishop Bona of Montana. Rose Weisheipl is her sponsor. Aunt Lena is with us today for the first time since she was relieved by Ray Ostertags. We all have supper at Weisheipl's, it was Thres' first time out of the house for nearly a month." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1952: "Theresa Botz is in the store this afternoon. she tells me today is her birthday. She is 61. Thres attends card party of the "Council of Catholic Women" at St. Vincent's Gym. Court Whist is played. Donald and family are over tonite. We splice some more film. Find film of Don's wedding which I thought was lost. Debbie and me pick up Grammy Potter at St. Vincent's Gym. Debbie is still wide awake at 1 A.M. when her folks leave for home."  [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
