[AT] Ice harvest coming up next month

[Gene Dotson]

    My Amish neighbors have their ice houses filled. Most cut 2 weeks ago 
before the warm spell. Ice was at 6 1/2 inches. I have watched them a couple 
of times and I maintain and sharpen their ice saws. Wagler family put up 
1700 blocks in 2 days. Worked before dawn until too dark to see.
