Hello,
18 to 20 year hobby sometimes professional pyro who moved from CA to florida a few years ago. I have been from sparklers to 23lbs 12in round shells with 3 comet tails. Back to small backyard shells and toys but would sure like to get in touch with a few
people maby a group or so to talk with. I have written a few pieces that AFN has published, starting with making 3in ball shell molds and ball mill media molds , That might show my age a bit. I'm not into talking kids out of metal m80 tubes or talking to
them about wicks. I'm not trying to be snooty just not into kids makeing boomers before they read a bit.

Hi Bob,
What area of Florida are you in? I'm in Highlands County (currently recovering from Irma) and like you, I describe myself as a former "sometimes hobby, sometimes professional" pyro. I wrote one article published in AFN some years back, and worked at a
factory in Michigan building 3" to 8" shells. I also worked at a class C retailer for many years in Ohio, where I designed and manufactured a titanium comet and I shot shows in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan for a few different companies. Also attended
a few PGI conventions back in the day...
I'm no longer actively doing any pyro, but really miss it and would enjoy connecting with others who have "smelt the smoke".

Guess in FL were all getting old, Sir you and Kirt from above have been the replys I have got on this posting. I dont want to chase all over the web to find sights. I have talked with AFN and got a sight but probbly got a letter or so incorect.
So I have a note out to him again. I have heard the Florida group is invitation only, I moved from Ca to KY to here a few years ago, I shot for Pyrospectacular in ca and beings I dont know anyone here its a hope. Maby a few of us older pyros around. I
know I did my time answering M 80 questions.
