        I've just received some information regarding a little boy, who
        users of the net might be interested in helping.  If you think
        it would be okay, could you mail a copy to all net users you
        know personally, or post it in the news?  Here is the letter
        I received.

David is a 7 year old boy who is dying from cancer.  Before he does, he has
a dream of one day being in the Guinness Book of Records for the person
who has had the most postcards sent to them.  If you would like to help
David achieve his dream, all you have to do is send a postcard to David as
soon as possible.

        Send to:
                        David, c/o Miss McWilliams
                        St Martin de Porres Infant School
                        Luton, Bedfordshire
                        ENGLAD, UK

        Don't forget to sign your name.

                                                Thanks all!  -jf

This just may be one of the most worthwhile things you do this week, if not
for a long time.  PLEASE take the few minutes this will take to send David
a postcard, and tell everyone you know they should do the same.  Don't
forget AIR MAIL postage as appropriate.

The Human Adventure must never end.
