wow 1041.5 Mckie is perfect for what I want to do genetically. But who would I have to kill to get a seed?

Sean - shoot me an email this winter if you have any trouble finding a 1041. I think there might be a couple nice pumpkins off the 1041 yet.

The "275 Van Hook" is definitely the one I'd grow if I was looking for what your looking for.
