George Levy was a boxer. He was in training for an upcoming boxing match, and found one of the best ways to train is to lug heavy blocks of ice to the wooden ice boxes the the homes in the area in those years before the electric refrigerator was a luxury in many homes. The Glovers held on to our old wooden ice box until the year 1940, when we got a second hand "Alpine" fridge.
