Re: By-By Pumpkin

This sounds like the perfect story for the nightly news, and I can't think
of a better way to get the message out to those jerks that it was the faith
and trust of a four-year-old that they stole along with his pumpkin! Call
your local station and ask them to do a human interest story on the pumpkin
theft. I bet they'll jump at the chance...
