I left Newport News, Va. to young to remember living there. But we must have returned to visit neighbors several times during the following summers, as I do remember the ice cream man. He had a cart in front of a self-peddled bike. This is the only memory I have of Newport News.

What a wonderful memory! Unfortunately, it’s just a memory.

We had an ice cream man this summer, but a lot of the time he would drive to fast and half the kids in the neighborhood missed him. On our block alone there are 16 ‘kids’ and a lot of ‘adult kids’. At least we have a Turkey Hill only a few blocks away.

We still have an ice cream man come around and he plays a song that I don’t know the title to but there are bells and whistles. Then he plays the Jaws tune, its great! Back in the 50′s we also had the good humor man. Great memories!

The ice cream man will always be a nice memory of mine as a child. The Good Humor Man and Bungalow Bar ice cream trucks were a delight in the summer and just a few cents for an ice cream back then in the ’60′s. Now I prefer to buy my own Turkey Hill in the supermarket.

We have an annoying ice cream man. They should have to turn their music off when they stop to make a sale. It usually plays, and plays, and plays. I’d much rather get my ice cream from the store, Turkey Hill, that is!

He married me. My husband was a Good Humor Man in 1962 between graduating college and heading to Fort Dix for Basic training. In those days Good Humor supplied the truck and you worked on commission. My husband the bachelor like to go bar hopping Friday nites and play softball Sat & Sun. so he only worked Mon. to Thurs. When he got out of the Army he applied for unemployment which was reduced from his $78 a month because of his low earnings selling Good Humor. He did not have music but he had a bell on a string.

we still have our ice cream man come every summer in his truck. sometimes at dinner time and sometimes at bedtime but usually at funtime.
and we are happy to have him.
we can still get a small softserve vanilla cone for a dollar.
soon he will be going south, after the first frost which is very late in Philly this year.

No problem Pat. Some of us were wondering when the last time we saw an ice cream man was. A few neighborhoods still have them, but not many.

Thanks for the great memories. Ice Cream Men are few and far between around my home now. It is a shame that all those nice things seem to end.

Thanks Turkey Hill!
