Hello all,

A note from a College Professor of mine.  Seems a small amount of effort on our
part could really make this kid happy one last time...

Thanks, and pass it on,

I was touched by this request, which was posted on the SCU bulletin
board by one of our students, so I decided to send it on to
more people. If there is a local bulletin board where you work,
please post this.

        "Please join us in helping to make one extremely sick child's wish
come true...  This particular child's name is Craig Shergold.  He is seven
years old and has a very short time to live due to a brain tumor.

        Craig's wish is to have his name added to the list of "Record
Holders" in the Guinness Book of World Records.  The record he wishes to be
accountable for is the person who has received the most get-well cards ---
the record now stands at 1,000,265.

        This is such a small task for us to accomplish for a precious
little seven year old.

        Let's put a smile on Craig's little face with a get-well card and
let him know we all truly care by sending him a card as soon as possible.
All cards must be received by Craig by no later than Sunday, April 15th,
1990, and be mailed to him at the following location:

                        Craig Shergold
                        c/o Children's Wish Foundation
                        32 Perimeter Center East
                        Atlanta, Georgia 30346

        Thank you in advance for your contribution to this 'small' request.
Please pass the word so that we can all help Craig's wish come true."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Please, if you have the time, send a card to make Craig's wish come
true. I know it would mean the world to him. Thanks....
