Many comments have came back to us saying it was one of the most beautiful displays anyone had seen. We had designed in several uncommon effects. But we had a large supply of different items in the boxes I shipped up 3 weeks ago. So we went all out in design. We fired it with the new Cobra Remote Firing System. It is the latest and best on the market. We thought it was a winner but I have a saying that "we pyros are not the judge of our work. The audience is". So we depend on feedback and that which we received was more then favorable. I fly back to Seattle Monday AM 8 hr from this writing, and repack and Tuesday early AM I fly to Detroit to drive to Grand Rapids for the National Fireworks Association annual convention. Re: The squirrel picture http://AlumniSandstorm.com/Xtra/Mat/Me-Squirl-5yrs.jpg While in Grand Rapids I will visit the site of the picture and visit with my cousin who took the picture. The caption on the picture said "Larry 5 years old". But note in the envelope with the picture said this was taken early spring of '46 during our trip to pick up a new car from my uncle who had a large GM Dealership. In the spring of '46 I would have been 4 1/2 (born Jan '42). My cousin is 16 years older (90) and just moved into an Assisted Living Center. She is one of 2 survivors of that generation of Mattinglys. (apart from myself and my twin brothers ('77)).
