FWIW, my dad worked for Leiby's (and then Guers) for most of his adult life. One of my fondest memories was going into the Leiby's ice cream feezer on Fridays (wearing one of the freezer parkas) just so I could pick out the flavor of ice cream (or 2) that we were bringing home for the week.

Maybe they'll start making cards again?

I read several different articles in recent weeks about the return of Yuengling's ice cream. This is somewhat unrelated, but one of the things I read that absolutely shocked me was that Dick Yuengling is one of the 400 richest men in America. I know there is a lot "old money" in nearly 200 years of brewing, but I never would have guessed Yuengling was that wealthy.

Forbes currently has him as the 371st richest man in America, with a net worth of $1.4 billion. A person could definitely live rather well on a billion dollars in Pottsville.
