Hello all,
Unless Craig has suffered a relapse, this story has continued unabated for
the last 8 to 10 years, and is NOT TRUE. Attached are the pertinent parts of
an article from Card Talk (Summer Issue, 1993), the newsletter of the
American Business Card Club.
"THE BUSINESS-CARD HOAX OF THE CENTURY CONTINUES UNABATED...The facts are as
folows: The little boyreported as being 7 years old, is now 14 or 15 years
old. He did have a brain tumor, but it was successfully removed by surgeons
a few years ago. The lad wanted to get into the GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS,
but for get well cards-not business cards. He never expressed any interest
in business cards whatsoever..."
Please do not take this as a request to send get well cards. Just a FYI note
