Hi Chris. I many many years ago helped run an affro rock reggae festival at earlham park in Norwich Norfolk. At the end there was going to be a massive firework show . The bloke running it advised at a certain point to lay down to watch the display, unknown to us he planned to fire a massive air bomb with a low fast fuse , if you ever experienced having your breath knocked out of you with a punch that was what it was like. Apparently quite a few people phoned the police regarding the explosion one over 20 miles away. Needless to say that the local police wasn't to happy with us.
Fireworks most impressive. One year at Kansas City baseball 4th of July. They always had big o e every Friday night and huge one on 4th. One year something went wrong and almost all of them went up at once. it was over fast but pretty neat. I sure miss games with Dad then with Grandkids now that I can't travel.
Dad started taking me to Kansas City Athletes , New York yankee games in the old stadium by river. On a Sunday, because he worked Sat.
Back then it was 5 hour drive on 2 lane blacktop from Lincoln Nebraska. We would leave at 6am and get home around midnight. Then He would have to get up at 6am to be at work by 7. game I remember most 21-14 New York. Homers by Mantle and Maris all on dads 8mm Movie camera. a guy next to us came all the way from Scotts Bluff to see Bobby Shantz pitch. KNew him from MInor leagues. Shantz came in 2 out in 9th inning threw 1 pitch. Ground ball game over. I found out years later the guy I worked with on night shift had been at same game.
