COULD IT BE A CANTAL-UMPKIN?

ILLUSTRATION: Staff photo by JOHN H. SHEALLY II

It almost looks like a pumpkin. It's certainly pumpkin-sized. It is,

however, a cantaloupe of very large proportion. Joe Simmons of

O'Kelly Drive says it weighed in at 36 1/2 pounds. The seed company

says it's very close to the record but not quite there.
