Netherlands

I was just wondering, who is the oldest (successful) pumpkin grower? We have an 83 year old grower here in The Netherlands who ended up 9th in the world with his field pumpkin this year (assuming all the GPC results are already in). Last year he placed 16th, but that was when he was only 82.

Anyone know anybody else out there worth mentioning?

Not to distract totally but I was wondering what the oldest seed anyone grew this year.
