I can't verify what Dave says above, but Craig was in Atlanta this past
October with the "Children's Wish Foundation" to meet an American Policeman.
There were pictures of Craig and his mother in the Oct. 30, 1990 edition of
the Atlanta Constitution. He will also be visiting Disney World.
The Foundation had to rent space just for Craig's mail, gifts, and etc.
NOTE: He is now 11 years old and as of May had recieved 16,250,692 cards. 

They don't know how to get all this back home, so I'm sure they don't need any
more.
