Saturday evening to “Blue Island” to see the fireworks a solid stream of continuous display – thrilling and beautiful – at the end ground and air fireworks all going at once with innumerable bombs that fairly shook the ground.
Little Jim was sitting on my lap, and he seemed unable to contain himself – he jumped madly up and down, and sensing his need, I helped him jump. His excitement made it all seem more fabulous to me.
Charles E. Burchfield, July 2-6, 1964
