September 4, 1964, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
Taking his cue from the famous painting American Gothic, Mr. Berndt does his best impression of that work, sans pitchfork and daughter (most people think it's the farmer's wife, by the way). Gardening has always found its way, especially in the realm of county and state fair competitions, to feature extra large vegetables, so why should Menasha miss out on the fun? Besides, it gives our local hero bragging rights and makes for a fun photo in a Friday edition of the paper.
