An unknown person stole a pumpkin from a boy’s garden next to the Uvas Creek levee, a few blocks south of the intersection of Laurel and Uvas Park drives.
In a recent letter to the editor, Roger Anderson, who often walked along the levee and saw the pumpkin, wrote:
Dear Editor,
About a block south of the Uvas Levee trail from the intersection of Laurel Drive and Uvas Park Drive, a young man was growing a garden of corn, squash, sunflower and pumpkins. His father put up a sign – “Youngster’s project, do not disturb.” There was, in particular, a very fine pumpkin growing.
Well, it’s gone! There’s a new sign – “Whoever took the pumpkin broke my son’s heart.”
Young man, please understand that there were maybe 100 of us walking by who really admired that wonderful pumpkin. We are very sorry some jerk stole it.
Thanks for adding enjoyment to our walks.
Roger Anderson, Gilroy
