Re: 9/11 firefighters pumpkin carving- Photo??

I'll try to get a better one.

Russ and Pam Leno of Everett, Washington used their master sculpting skills
in depicting the Firefighter Memorial on a monstrous 912-pound pumpkin for
the Washington State Fair in Puyallup in September. The pumpkin was grown by
Joel Holland, a retired fire fighter, who made the special request of the
Leno's (they sculpt under their company name "Sleepy Hallow Master Pumpkin
Carvers") to sculpt an image commemorating the firefighters the evening
prior to the fair. Frantic, the Leno's and Holland searched for pictures of
fire fighters at Ground Zero and eventually found just the right image to be
embedded in the pumpkin. Over the next two days the Leno's spent 14 hours
sculpting the pumpkin. Unlike other pumpkin sculptings, this one touched
people in subtle, even somber ways. As a vet, sculpting the image conjured
very different feelings for Russ than any other project he had done before.
