WHOA! Don't send that card!

If memory serves me correctly, this is the lad who actually DID wish to get
into the record books for the most GREETING cards ever received...some years
ago. Since that time, this one's been making the rounds about every 6
months, in which time Craig has actually set the record, his parents are now
distressed that they can't seem to STOP the flow of cards, and by their
request (and in the face of a HUGE pile of cards), Guinness has pulled this
particular record from the books in hopes that no one else will try to break
it.

I'm 99.9% sure that this is the same person, but if you're feeling generous
and want to send that card, be sure to call the Foundation at 404/916-9474
before you end up victimizing (albeit unintentionally) an organization that
has little enough time and few enough resources already.
