September 1

1942: "Children's Day at Winnebago County Fair. Don Bludau and my self spent part of the afternoon at the fair. Glenn Stitzel with the Globe Veterinary Line is in charge of the Mueller-Potter booth. Had quite a shower of rain this afternoon. Dropped in to see John Fretschl this afternoon; he is very low.  [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1949: "Took Thres Fretschl to the cottage this morning. She expects to stay two days. Bob Fisher (Sharp & Dohme) takes me out to lunch. I suggested the new 'Town Grill' what was years ago 'The Fowler House' operated by Bill and Louise (Hackbarth) Crook. We had a very fine meal and a few strong 'Martinis.' Father David Bunkleman is in the hospital having an operation on his foot, Calcium deposit has formed in the tendon."  [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1957: "To 7:30 Low Mass - Father Schorn. Instead of a sermon he reads a letter from the Bishops of Wisconsin to the laity in regard to the census of Catholics to be taken shortly. Don and family are in for a short visit; we all take a drive to the cottage in my car. This is Don's day to be at the store. Mother and Mary Ann spend the evening at the Sister's playing Canasta. They both win a prize of beautiful hankies. It takes the Sisters to do lovely fancy work. I spend the evening cleaning drawers in the bathroom. To the cottage at 10:00 P.M." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
