RE: Weighoff results
Hey Bob,
Thanks for the positive angle on this. I'm sure
you're right. Unfortunately, as with most news, its
the negative stories that get the most play.
If it weren't for these nice ones that you speak of
and are a part of, I personally wouldn't have any
giant watermelon seeds myself. I'm just glad, as
giant pumpkin growers, our giving is known and
praised. Keep it up...
