1942: "Thres and Emma Siewert drive to the cottage to do some cleaning. After school I take Donald and Mary Ann out and Donald and myself put on the screens, cut grass. Things are now pretty well set at the cottage. Wisconsin Public Service pick up our refrigerator at the cottage. It has sprung a leak and it may be quite a job to repair it." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954: "Surprised ourselves by buying a Philco Television Set at Appliance Mart. Attended the windup meeting of the 'Oshkosh Centennial Corporation' tonite at City Hall. We turned over to the 'Oshkosh Foundation' a check for $8292.85 profit which was made mostly thru the efforts of 'Brothers of the Brush' 5400.63 'Sisters of the Swish' 2433.75 a total of 7834.38 by these two organizations, balance 468.47 profit from all other activities. Are we lucky to have had Brothers of Brush and Sisters of Swish." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
