Re: INDIANA STATE RECORD - very sad

David,
I couldn't agree more with you.   It takes a tremendous amount of time and
effort in growing these things, let alone the stress it puts on a persons
life style.    It seems trivial to have something disqualified for leakage
after it has been weighed; damaged in lifting this monster.
Super job Steve and Tom, you have my support

>Bruce,
I normally try to keep quiet about these things, but I decided that I could

not on this one.  I believe that your group is wrong on this.  I have been 
growing giant pumpkins since 1970 and understand all the work it takes to 
grow them.  To post that your group is "not allowing" this record from Mr. 
Beachy is not fair...it was weighed and validated by other people that this

pumpkin was a valid pumpkin.  I also heard that the handlers cause some of 
this leakage.  Anyways, I'm still trying to figure out how certain groups 
think they are in charge of the "state record"...but in my mind. Mr. Beachy

owns the  Indiana record as does Steve Thorson with his certified 963 lber 
for MN.  This is supposed to be a fun sport and having these people raise
the 
limit is just AWESOME. 
Great job Steve and Tom!
