Ed just has a one unfulfilled goal left. That is to get the U.S. Postal Service to issue a stamp honoring ice cream as America's favorite dessert. The challenge still remains after more than 20 years.

Write to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee with your support for an ice cream themed stamp.
 

Ed has finished writing ICE CREAM COLLECTIBLES an in-depth look at the wonderful and unusual items that were the tools of the ice cream parlor and soda fountain trade - scoops, milkshake machines, straw holders-ice cream molds- to name a few. Buy your own signed copy after you've looked at the sample pages.

This will be followed by ICE CREAM AND THE AMERICAN CULTURE; a look at the bygone days when the ice cream parlor was the social center of our culture-the period in our history up through the 1950's.
