In 1977, my family and I were huddled around a tv, the much anticipated movie of the year was on that night, Roots. We were tuned into the evening news prior to the start. There was a short clip of Howard and a large pumpkin that he had grown. I can't recall how much it weighed but I do remember that it was huge and something that I didn't think was possible! I was hoping to find the news clip on youtube and stumbled across this, not what I was looking for but very elated to find it!

Outstanding tribute to Howard and the family. Did you notice whose name is on the original post from 2009? Tremor - another great who has left us.

I had the pleasure of meeting Howard at his farm. We talked for quite a while about growing. Great guy. Nice tribute.

Thanks for that Jamie. It brings back a lot of memories when we visited Howard at the farm back in 2002!
