Did Howard Dill actually say this? Lots of other growers have paraphrased this statement, but I'd like to verify Howard's words.

Thanks.

"Giant Pumpkins get people out and take them away from the world's bad news. There's something about pumpkins, especially when they're big, that makes people happy. The bigger the pumpkin, the happier it seems to make them feel. If they see one at an exhibition, it gives them a day to get all the bad things off of their minds. What else can you grow that has the power to make people happy?" ......a quote from Howard Dill in the 1992 book "The Pumpkin King"

I met Mr. Dill and his children years ago....he was a true gentleman, and I told him that this hobby probably saved my life from the road I was on!
