When the Declaration of Independence was declared, John Adams wrote this historic letter to his wife:
"I am apt to believe that this day will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of
deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore."

The earliest documentation of fireworks dates back to 12th century China, where they were first used to frighten away evil spirits with their loud sound and also to pray for happiness and prosperity.
Eventually, the art and science of firework making developed into an independent profession. In ancient China, pyrotechnicians (firework-masters) were well-respected for their knowledge and skill in mounting dazzling displays of light and sound. Unfortunately, fireworks may have also led to the use of military rockets in China.
America's earliest settlers brought their enthusiasm for fireworks to the United States. Fireworks and black ash were actually used to celebrate important events long before the American Revolutionary War. In 1789, George Washington's inauguration was also accompanied by a fireworks display. This early fascination with their noise and color continues today with elaborate shows throughout the country not only on July 4th, but also at events such as a birth, wedding, coronation, or New Year's Eve … actually any event that seems a fitting occasion for celebrating with “noisemakers”!

Thank You to whoever put this website together and the planning people.
I can't wait to see you all. I hope Dale Erickson doesn't show up!
I've been blessed with two great ladies in my life. Renee Clausen, who you all knew and Liz. Renee departed this world several years ago already. She was a wonderful, courageous lady who died the age of 49 after a 3 year bout with cancer.She was the mother of two terrific boys Michael and Ryan. I have five wonderful grand kids. Haley, Alexis, Kade, Brady and Bryn. I love it when the little "angels" show up on Friday night and I really love it when the little "#*&%X^% go home on Sunday afternoon.
Elizabeth and I were married in November of 2002. Bliss. It's pretty much constant Bliss at our house. I finally have my daughter Bobbi Jo now.
I like to play golf and we have a summer place on Pelican Lake, south of Detroit Lakes.
We like to get away for a couple weeks in the winter and we are on a Mexico/Palm Springs rotation.
