Despite a valiant effort, the Guinness Book of Work Records notified the Los Alamos Arts Council (LAAC) Feb. 27 that it did not earn the world record for most pumpkins carved simultaneously.
The explanation was there was insufficient participation in some sections to qualify for the record. The number of people that would be counted as participants was 1,028. The record to beat was 1,060 people.

I’m just an average fellow that lives and works on the hill and I thought I’d attempt to share some words, a poem, that came to me last night amidst the tragedy that we are experiencing:
