July 10

1936: "Took two Sisters of Notre Dame to Elm Grove. It was a hot ride. Had a very pleasant visit wih Sister Davidica. She will celebrate her 'Diamond Jubilee' on August 9th. Had business to transact at Drug Service Bureau, Mutual Drug and McKesson Liquor." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1944: "Had my first opportunity at the blood bank today. There were many blood donors there. Am pretty tired tonite." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1955: "Somewhat cooler this morning. We are at 7:30 Low Mass. Father Schorn's sermon is on true contrition; he also speaks of the modesty in attire among the female sex. Well, our little grandson is baptized today by Father Milbauer. Name: Mark John. Sponsors: Floyd Essling and our Mary Ann. Had Don and family for dinner. Floyd could not come. Don takes the baby to the Sisters for a visit. Sisters Mathilda, Alverna, Mary are the only Sisters now home. They all take turns holding Mark. Sister Alverna wins the longest hold almost an hour." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
