Low heat.

Was wondering the same. He'd be mid-70s now. Best bet: he went back to whichever state he came from (like most of the new arrivals who arrived late).

Ah yes, the days when we were responsible, like 4th of July 1976 at Grandma and Grandpa's house, we had the entire family over, aunts, uncles, cousins. My grandfather bought a whole bunch of fireworks, my favorites were the sparklers and the snakes, but I was 7, that's when you could actually draw designs in the air with the metal sparklers. But he bought a whole bunch of fireworks, it was never the crazy stuff, he never bought bottle rockets, and he never bought M-80's, it was just the pretty stuff, the shower, ones that whistled, you know all the ones that made you say oooooooh and aaaaaaaaah. Like I said, they were responsible, grandpa had one of those white paint buckets that were empty, he had another that was full of water, and he had the water hose turned on, not actually spilling out all over the place, he had one of those nozzles that you had to squeeze for the water to come out. He would light a firework, and when it was done, just one at a time, he didn't wait until he had 50 just sitting there, but after it was done, he'd pick it up, dunk it in the water for a few seconds, and throw it in the empty bucket, we did that for a couple hours. I miss you grandma and grandpa.
