Making M-80's in 1984

[displayfireworks1]

This is one of my videos from 2013. In searching some of my paper collection I decided to post the video on the forums and include the paper material from 1984. Of course now with the internet we don't need to pay $3.00 for a fireworks formula. Here is the video for those that have not seen it. Plus the paperwork as shown in the video. It's actually very well written.

What do we know about Westech Corporation?
This is what I know from my research. If someone has more to add. Please do.
It was located in Logan Utah and operated by Ralph Degn. Here are what I believe was the location. It currently is still home to a fireworks operation.

Ralph Degn was 44 years old in 1984. He is still alive and is no longer involved in fireworks as far as I can tell. The following information is from the Skylighter website.
.
Westech was a pyrotechnic supplies company started back in the 1960's in Utah by Ralph Degn. Ralph wrote a series of "Technical Reports" designed to help amateur pyros learn to build fireworks. These "TR's" as Ralph called them, marked the blossoming of a new era in fireworks making literature. Before that time, very little useable literature had been written in the 20th century about modern fireworks making. Westech has long since passed from the scene, and Ralph has moved on to other things in life. The original TR's were pretty crudely self-published booklets, each one dealing with a single fireworks topic. Many of them had hand-drawn illustrations.
.
Where is Ralph today?
