Vintage Fireworks



Above is an article and picture of my dad's dad George Di Angelous. This article appeared in the Sacramento Bee newspaper, I am not sure of the date, I believe in the 1950's. George build fireworks displays for state fairs and other large events. He is quoted as saying " my two boys, Jimmie and Jean Allen are crazy about fireworks" ( Which is my Uncle Jim and my Dad). Any of you who knew my dad when he was alive, know him as Jean, but his family always called him Jean Allen, which still makes me giggle. If you click on the pictures, it may open a bigger picture and you can read the article.
