Sid,
Talking about pumpkins. Something happened here back in the early 80s. And considering the recent death of the Chairman of the PLO. It ties together.

About two days before Halloween. Jack-o-Lanterns started disappearing all over town. No one could keep one on their porch, because they would be stolen during the night.
As you enter my home town. You come across the Willamette river. And immediately see an Abstract statue of a pioneer on horseback, in a small grassy plaza with a large "Welcome to Springfield. The Gateway to the Mckenzie River" sign.
The morning after Halloween. The Statue was surrounded by 100s of Jack-O-Lanterns, piled high. With a large sign that read."Pumpkin lovers unite!" and signed "Yessir Youarefat, leader of the PLO" (Pumpkin Liberation Organization).

The caper was never solved. And no witnesses came forward.

Just thought it was an amuseing story.
