I am not a member of the list, but in need of preservation
assistance for a family problem.  My parents live(d) in Grand Forks,
North Dakota and their home was heavily damaged during the recent
flooding.  The problem is that my father's rather large collection
of record (33s, 45s and albums) are currently under water.  I would
like to know if there is any way to save them.  I have not seen the
situation, but heard the water is quite filthy.  Any assistance will
be appreciated.  I will be giving instructions to family members
over the phone as they drain the basement, and I will personally be
in Grand Forks in a few weeks.
