An announcement was made on the radio this morning concerning the story about
this young boy named David.  The name David was an alias, and his cancer is in 
remission.

The Spring Hill post office in Florida is receiving over 50,000 letters on a
daily basis.  The postmaster has requested numerous times for people to stop 
sending mail to this person.

"David" will appear in the Guiness Book of World Records due to the amount of 
mail that he has received.
