Thanks for the info. Jim.
Jack's 7 official pumpkins over 1000 lbs. is amazing.
You must have been dissapointed that your 1041.5 had a minor flaw to make it an exhibit. At least you got to show it off. It looks like a fine color cross.

Jack and I would like to thank everyone for their warm hearted congratulations, especially those in the PGVG who I'm sure were wondering if Jack would ever stop bringing big ones to our competitions. Our successes are made up of many things including most importantly the many friendships we have made in this obsessive sport as well as the willingness over the years to share information! THANK YOU!
Jack and Sherry
