1937: "Talked to a class at Hi School today interested in pharmacy. I spoke about ¾ hour and gave them 15 minutes to ask questions and answer them. About 25 are in the class." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1945: "Father Bastian gets news by telegram this morning that he has been made a Monsignor by the Holy Father. This is an honorary church title for those who have given faithful and meritorious service for many years. Father Bastian has been with us for about 35 years and has built a new Church, Parsonage, Sisters Home and School, and that is a rare accomplishment..." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1947: "Spent a rather busy day. Contacted Ed Binder about filling in Pancratius Drexler lot, and arrange for perpetual care for Theo Drexler, Stanislaus Jarosch, and Panc Drexler lots. Ed also consented to become my chairman of advanced gifts for the Notre Dame Sisters Memorial. This afternoon took clothes to Harry Lyman at County Home; he is happy to have them, would like an auto ride. Contacted Phil Lyman at studio and got the key for the Lyman home. Contacted Joe Kubasta and he consented to become my chairman of publicity. Also stopped at Joe Hansetter's. He lets me take 2 volumes of the History of the Sisters of Notre Dame in North America. Tonite drove to Appleton to attend baseball game and what a game. We almost won several times but lost eventually 11-9. Appleton used 4 pitchers. Bruver pitched for Oshkosh. In the eighth he hit 3 Appleton players, 5 runs came in." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
