Hey Marty,
I had forgotten about that !!!  I remember most of the time the warm water 
didnt do the trick for me but a few bangs on the counter top did :) !!!

Not only do I remember every one of those things, I remember that the 
levered metal ice cube tray was a new  improvement over the older ones that 
you had to put warm water over, and bang them out onto the countertop. I 
even remember the "ice man" with a horse drawn wagon. We did not have an ice 
box however.
