April 4

1936: "Snow and blizzard today. Had intended to drive to Chicago, but changed our mind and took the train down at 4:23 P.M. Took Anna Drexler and Leona along down to see Rose Drexler Gittings. Arrived at 9:45 P.M. Bob was at the depot. Had supper at 10 P.M. and then a nice visit until 2:30 A.M. Met Tom Sweeney near Bob's place about 1 P.M." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1940 : "Our birthday sale begins at the store (32 years in business). Another gloomy looking day with some rain." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
