Fwd: Doc

Is it true that after Doc Pumpkinstein tore out his yard to grow pumpkins and
then tore out his driveway to get more room that for the same reason he next
tore down his house? WOW, what a guy.

Wayne,

Very true story about Doc and a great guy, but you left out the part when
Doc decided he really needed some more room! You know the part when he tore
out his concrete driveway along side his house to make more room for his
pumpkins! Now this is true dedication to the hobby/sport........!
