Please do NOT send any more postcards!  A request was just posted stating
this child HAS achieved his goal and WILL be in the Guinness book; he had
over 144,000 cards sent to him.  Now, however, his family and the
school requests that you stop sending cards, since it's just a burden
on them and the school.
