60 Minutes recently reported a similar story of a dying kid wanting to get in Guiness by collecting postcards. I don't remember the details, but the story sound so similar that it is likely they are the same story. 60 Minutes pointed out that THE STORY IS A HOAX!!!! There was no such child and local postal authorities were trying to get the word out, because the flood of post-cards was severely hampering their ability to handle other mail. -- Robert Reed, Tektronix CAE Systems Division, bobr@zeus.TEK
