Hiroshi has cleaned up the site as best they can. All recyclable materials
(roof, etc) have been donated. The remaining materials will be bulldozed
into a pile and burnt. The ashes will be spread on the site and a new studio
built as soon as funding is available. His spirits are towards the future
despite the tragic events ... don
