Back when all of us cousins were just kids, our families got together at Rich and Bernices house in Maple Grove. It must have been around the 4th of July. That evening you invited several of kids outside. There you gave each of us a little stick that you called a "sparkler" and then you lit them for us. We all ran around the back yard carving sparkling images in the night air. It was AWESOME fun. Thank you Gil.
