19 h, mar 28, 1987 y - Frank Porter disregards Arnold Eugene Rivers' worries regarding his archeological findings

Description:

"Mr. Porter called me on the evening of March 28th and spoke on the phone briefly. It was as I thought. He disregarded my concerns. I informed him that I wasn't going to return to the site. He insisted I did. Said I was a valuable asset to the project. Even offered me a substantial raise. And wanted me to lead a specifically organized team that would clear the tunnels of artifacts before excavation could continue. I, quote on quote, could be responsible for the biggest historical finding of all time, he said. I refused again. I won't put a price on my sanity or my health, especially after seeing what was happening to the crew. I consider myself incredibly lucky to not be in that condition right now. Oddly, he accepted my second refusal. Wished me luck on my future endeavors. But before I could say anything else, he hung up. But it seemed I made the right choice."
