Hello!

 Hi Marlo,

 A dazzling/blinding signature file! When you gonna rejoin the club
fella???

Suggestion for dredge stuff. Place in plastic bag, sprinkle with some
sort of mild bacteriacide and
vacuum seal the bag. If the grunge is wet it wont suck up into the
vaccuum. They sell home units
cheap for sealing clothes, food etc etc.

If you get that much dredge stuff why not spring for a small freezer??

Later,

Emilio Jorge Power
