Ice cream treat...Binghamton, NY

Al Roberts, 75, has been selling ice cream from trucks in the

Binghamton area for more than 50 years. Here, a Binghamton teacher

treats her fourth-grade class to cones on the last day of the school

year. In 1969, the Mister Softee corporate headquarters asked Roberts

to take two of his trucks down to a music festival in Sullivan County,

NY. Consequently, Roberts ended up parked in a field for three days

selling ice cream to the surrounding 450,000 young people attending

Woodstock. He and his crew took turns napping on the truck floors. He

says the only performer he remembers hearing was Janice Joplin.
