- I just got a letter from a friend, more of a chain letter really, in which
- they're trying to get lots of cards sent to Craig Shergold again. This
- particular letter had over 100 names on it.
-
- Now, I know this has been discussed many times before, and I know that
- Guiness and Make-a-Wish foundation have been trying to put an end to this.
- But I don't have all the facts. Rather than calling my friend and sounding
- like I'm trying to rain on a good deed, I'd like to find out the facts of
- this so I can inform my friend. For example, I think this has been going
- on for what, about 10 years now? And Craig is how old now? You get the idea.
-
- I saw a good summary last time someone on the net asked for cards for Craig.
- Would someone please email me a copy? Thanks.
-
- Email preferred. I don't think the net wants to go through this again.
- And I don't read alt.folklore.urban.
