One of the stops on the patch tour was at Lincoln Mettler�s house. Lincoln had won the Half Moon Bay World Championships a couple times. I had no idea who he was. I also had no idea that he would change my pumpkin growing perspective and approach by matter-of-factually saying these words: �The only reason to grow pumpkins is to try to break the world record.� Lincoln was the first grower I�d ever seen who openly shared this kind of crazy goal with a group of strangers. At that moment my childhood dream changed into a grown-up�s obsession.
