[CAUT] fire extinguisher dust

[Joel A. Jones]

Don,

DO NOT TOUCH the dust.      What ever you do.      It smears and
becomes extremely difficult to remove.   Also, the more you walk around 
on the floor it
becomes impossible.   I remember the crew used triple filtered vacuums 
and special
cleaners.

I was lucky in that most of the dust went on the case.   Mine was in 
the concert D.

Immediately  call in a professional clean-up crew.   Check with your 
campus safety department, maintenance,
etc.  There are some names in PTG that I would recommend.  Dave Swartz 
from Minneapolis for one.

This is a job for a PROFESSIONAL.

Joel
