PARK SERVICE TEAM SET TO RESCUE YEARS OF ARTIFACTS

Their bags are packed with safety glasses, gloves, masks, boots and suits. As soon as they hit the ground in New Orleans, they plan to set up triage tents and long tables.

Then this emergency team from the National Park Service will begin its work: blotting, washing, drying, straightening and preserving centuries of historical artifacts that tell the story of one of the oldest U.S. cities.......

Once it gets the all-clear message, the team will head to the Crescent City to retrieve documents, photographs, furniture and other pieces of history that have marked the rich life of a city founded in 1718 and occupied by the French, Spanish, Creoles, Americans, Confederates, fire, disease and water--again and again.

There are photographs and musical instruments in the Park Service's jazz museum, musical scores in Louis Armstrong's home, archives of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve Museum, and the Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery---all floating in swampy, oily, polluted water.

Yikes, especially the first comment. No doubt correct, too, the whole city may well be as unliveable as Love Canal once they get the water out.....<NG>
