Dale I am a big fan of yours, you have paid your pumpkin dues and lost your share of pumpkins over the years, Yet you haven't quit. I know how discouraging it is to lose a pumpkin, but it has to be even more discouraging to lose one in Alaska where you have to work so hard and invest so much to provide the right conditions for pumpkin growth. I am so happy you got this one to the scale. Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment. Your perseverance has paid off.
