I shared some of my pumpkin seeds with a neighbor.
Today he brought me this:

I am pretty certain this is Bob’s offspring. Now I need to plant the seeds and stabilize the type. Absolutely beautiful. It looks like a cross between the original Bob the Pumpkin and a cheese type. Never seen a C. moshata like this before. If I can get it to produce true-to-type, you may be able to get an original “David The Good” pumpkin in seed stores in a few years.
This is more of an accidental pumpkin than anything else – there was a great type I found, we planted the seeds, somewhere it must have crossed with something cool, and BAM – now we have something neat. If we can keep it!

You know I want seeds if you can stabilize the type (genotype?)!!!
You know I’ll share! Did you ever get pumpkins from that huge green one I gave you seeds from?
Nice! Hope it has all the characteristics you’re looking for. Would sure like a pumpkin that awesome in South Florida.
Was there any luck with stabilizing it?
No, this seed line was lost, unfortunately. It was truly excellent, but we kept having to move, and kept losing our test plots. I’m sorry.
