  1. KEY BAND POINTS As a farm kid growing up in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s John Giguiere (Founder) was a confirmed pyromaniac starting various things on fire such as his father’s wheat field. He and his brother graduated to launching rockets which often blew up at some stage of the journey resulting in more random fires and calls to the local fire department for help. They eventually grew out of this fascination with the “Matchbook” but still have fond memories of the power they possessed.
