Wayne Henry, president of
Jack Frost Ice Service, provided an interesting look at the
development of the ice service industry at the February 18,
2005 MVCA luncheon gathering.
From early roots of hard labor ice-houses, the industry has
evolved. With the advent of electric refrigeration, a
drastic shift was seen even as late as the 1960s.
Mr. Henry included a brief video documentary film from the
1940s on how ice-plants cultivated 300 pound blocks. His own
company has grown since his purchase of a small firm in
1978, to its current status of five facilities throughout
the valley.
The Mid-Valley Claims Association would like to thank Wayne
Henry for sharing his knowledge and his story.
February guest speaker, Wayne Henry, built his ice service
from a small company in 1978 to a five warehouse mid-valley
mainstay for the 21st century.
MVCA Vice President, Magda Michel, got help greeting folks
as they arrived from Rosemary Perez-Cardenos, of Great
Valley Adjusters.
