Karl's Legacy: Potach's eclipse $1M donated to Institute, given key to the city

“We have been completely surrounded by true and faithful friends in this effort,” Kurt Potach said. “We are remembering Karl in a very positive way. In thinking back over the history of Karl’s short life and where we are at today, he indeed brought tremendous amounts of light and life to our family for that short time.”
