Frances Keefe, founder of "Child's Wish Come True" in Spring Hill,
Florida, who started the campaign has asked everyone to _please_
STOP.  "David", really Mario Morby of Steely, England, has already
received enough cards to make the 1989 Guinness Book of Records.

Keefe's house has been filled up with mail for "David" and 50,000
more pieces arrive every day.

You might also be interested to know that Mario's cancer is currently 
in remission.
