Love the melons from Green River! Great story.

My first job after moving to Green River in the summer of 1966 was to hoe water melons for Jay Vetere.
I still remember a saying that Jay told me on the occasion of having his nephew Gary helping me. Jay said "One boy is a boy, two boys are half a boy, and three boys are no boy at all" when comes to getting work done.
Thanks for the memories.

Congratulations to Veteres for half a century of selling fine melons. You can always count on Jay, Greg and Tim to sell a quality product.
