May 10

1940: "Had a telegram from Norman Davis, national Chairman, Red Cross Washington, D.C. asking that American citizens contribute 10 million dollars for War Relief. Our chapter quota is 3640 dollars." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1950: "To 6:30 Mass - Father Gerard. Father Arthur speaks on using the name of God in vain. Out to luncheon with Clark - Hastings - Ralph Sperry - Florian Peck. Annual meeting of the stockholders of the Knights of Columbus. A new slate of directors is elected. I did not get to the meeting. I did however have a long visit with Paul Waltner who worked for us in 1927. He is now with Parke-Davis, Detroit." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1956: "To 6:30 Mass - Father Schorn. Markie gives out today by beginning to creep. I visited Matt Drexler this afternoon. He is doing fine. His family was entertained at Hi-K last evening which accounts for their absence. Also learned Amanda's birthday is today. Two of the Sacred Heart Sisters come to visit Matt while I was there. Their order is more lenient than the Notre Dame when it comes to visiting homes. They also enjoyed a nice piece of Amanda's birthday cake and ice cream. We attended So Side B M (South Side Business Men's) potluck at Columbus Club tonite. Won a large box of Les Borisch stationery." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
