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.
