Iceberg season on the North Atlantic is March 1 to July 1. The bergs are fragments of the mile-thick ice sheet which covers most of Greenland, sends glaciers down to the coast where huge chunks break off.

She was just as pleased when he made himself an expert mechanic by working in a garage as she was when he studied business at Kansas Wesleyan...
