August 22

1934: "Joe Weisheipl Jr. has a birthday. He is 27 and plays a piece for himself over the radio. We take the Fretschls out to the cottage today. It is an ideal day. E.C. Crawford, Secretary of Oshkosh Overall is very ill. (Blogger's Note: He passed away the next day.) [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1937: "Joe Weisheipl Jr. is 30 today. We help him celebrate in the evening by taking some of his money away from him. The temperature is 72° today." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1942: "Brazil declares 'War' on Germany and Italy. It is expected other South American countries will follow shortly. Brought Thres home from hospital this afternoon. She must stay off her feet for several more days. (Blogger's Note: She was in the hospital for treatment for varicose veins.) Rose - Marion Weisheipl, Mary - Helen Berndt and Margaret Putzer drive to Milwaukee. Visit at Karl and Margaret Radomsky and make some records." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
