1933: "Yesterday was a real summer day; the thermometer went to 98°. A. W. Armstrong is given one year at Waupun and $1000 fine for issuing worthless checks. He gave us a bad one for 5 dollars. I took this up with his wife and find he has two small children. I did not have the heart to prosecute him." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1942: "Drove to the Orphanage near Green Bay to bring home Sisters Alverna - Ermanhilda. From the Orphanage we drove to St. Nazianz Seminary. Met Father Bede who showed us thru the place. It is new and strictly modern in every detail. He also showed us thru the Museum - the Chapel - the Office and the Print Shop. Donald was along and I had him enrolled for the fall semester. Back home at 7:15 P.M." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
