This is Henry Thomas with one of his great “freak of nature” pumpkins, grown in his garden on Randolph Avenue. Some of Mr. Thomas’ hobby efforts will be seen around town starting next week, as he’s donating some of his great, orange monstrosities to the Milton Police Department and Milton Public Library.
