The Reading Warehouse

I deliver ice around the whole community. The folks I come across never hesitate to tell me their stories. After all, I'm just the ice man . . .

Jon makes deliveries for the local ice company. Although an increasing number of people are purchasing those large, electric boxes that keep ice cream frozen and even make ice cubes, he doesn't let this fact affect his attitude. He is well-acquainted with all that matters, and his main aim in life is not necessarily keeping a hunk of ice frozen. Jon loves people, and it seems to him that they need a tremendous amount of help. Someone is always in need of advice, and Jon is exceptional in giving it. He brings people together -- or separates them if needed. The wild choices they make are never a problem for him, but rather a welcome challenge. He takes chances when needed and deals with love, marriage, and even murder.
