...seemed a queer ballad for a nun to tackle. But even at its climax-when the landlord's daughter warns her lover of the King's men, by shattering her breast with a musket shot-the Noyes was expertly joined by Sister Martina's warm, robust music...

A super iceman is robust, pink-cheeked, Dutch-born Migiel John Uline, 63. At 18 he ran his own ice route in Cleveland.
