using tools that are sharp enough
to damage the freezer walls or the
gasket around the opening.
Ice on the freezer should be
melted off. Disconnect the freezer
and take out the food. If your
freezer has a drain, melt the ice by
running cold water over it. If
the freezer does not have a drain,
place an electric fan so the air
hits the ice. Remove the ice as it
loosens and sponge up the water.
Be sure the inside of the freezer is
dry before you put the food back
into it.

hears the gun go off he's had it
for the day." Mr.. Aubrey said.

shepherd. who died about two
years ago. Bill is much better
