Re: The 1400 pound pumpkin.

I have searched the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune archives on the web
and I find no reference to a Rocky Pacelli.  There is an article about a Joe
Branchaw who had a pumpkin estimated at 630 lb.. in early September.  If
CTRAD@aol.com or Rocky himself could provide us with more specific
information, perhaps we could come closer to verifying these intriguing
claims!
