June 24

1948: "This evening I took Mary Ann for a drive to Menominee Park. Took in the zoo there. The kiddie rides are doing a thriving business, also watched some fast baseball under the lights.  John Albrecht passed away yesterday afternoon 1:15 at his home 14th and Minnesota Sts. Born Jan. 24, 1874.[from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1951: "To 7:30 Mass and I'm a bit sleepy. Mary Ann works today. The Sentinel's Annual Outboard Motor Races are on today from Neenah to Fremont and back. The lakes are very choppy and going is tough. We drive to Norm Brown's after one o'clock. He has open house. Met Dr.Brown, Dr. O'Brien, Father McKinnon, Mr./Mrs. Rosanski Fond du Lac, Bill Anderson and family, Jim Devitt and old friend from Chicago Days. Took Bill and Rose Mauritz to the cottage after supper for a visit." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1953: "Hired Lou Morgan clown entertainer to be in the parade next Saturday for Mueller Potter. Expect he'll do a good job as he is nationally known. Ray Keown (Armstrong) is in town with new capsule vials." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
