Ice man preserves vanished ice harvesting craft in Stamford
In Stamford, Charles Clark, 75, demonstrates antique ice harvesting tools to about 200 attendees at the Stamford Museum. He warns that without passing on the skills, the knowledge of ice cutting will be lost as oil runs out. Clark recalls 12 inch ideal ice blocks and the historical export of ice to 50 countries, and notes finding a 90-year-old Vermont ice man to preserve teachings from the 1880s heyday.
