               Relatives sent clipping from 10/8 Jackson, Ms Clarion-Ledger regarding new Ms record melon (239.5#) grown by a familiar name on these boards.  I'd post a link, but ain't got that far into this computer thang yet.  Congrats, wv melonman

                  Thanks,     The  seed  I  think is  a  240  bowers  1st  cousin  to the  268.8  Bright.   IT  was raining  at  pumpkin  daze so not  sure if they got  the stats.  Last  time I  checked the ott  was 208.5  three days  before I  pulled  it.  The melon was still growing 1 pound  a  day.  38  long  x  62 3/4  round.
