August 15

1934: "Took the folks and Anna Weisheipl family out to the cottage. Donald caught seven fish and what a proud young man he is. Bill and Emma Siewert come out for the evening. Had a game of six handed sheephead." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1935: "Holy Day of Obligation. Attended 7 o'clock Mass. Then to work. Took a drive to Milwaukee in the afternoon with the family. Took them to Washington Park. The children get quite a kick out of the monkeys. The mosquitoes are bad. Mary Ann was pretty well bitten up. [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1941: "News is received that Karl Fretschl is now a Corporal. He is stationed at the Marine Barracks, Navy Yard, Washington, D.C." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
