Subject: Re: USDCT and Archaeology
Mike, these guys have gone overboard trying to cause us problems. Every
time they are approached on the subject of their own self-inflicted
problems, they immediately drag me into the picture, as Stone did in the
article about Henry's death. I obviously had nothing to do with anything
going on there, and made a point of staying out of Wakulla Park for the
entire duration of time that these jerks were in there.

I want to know which one of these liars talked to your co-worker.
