He died of pancreatic cancer 7 years later. After reading about the tunnel I now know why he died at 36 not long after returning from there.

The 'parking lot' was a tiny sliver, all overgrown, with a large marijuana grow beside it . The inside was covered with a thick coat of red dust. Everyone carried at least two flashlights as the power was a sometimes thing, and a wrong turn could send yo into a 20 to 60 foot drop. The briefing rooms in the back still had the last Mercury flight plotted on the boards. The 'personnel elevator' did not work, but we put a small bull dozer in the large one, took it to the top floor and started knocking down walls. We then had a massive amount of rubble, so we blasted holes through the floors, backed mining dump trucks under the holes and pushed the rubble down a 60 foot drop (the noise was defening).. The trucks were backed down the tunnel to the MP station area. Above is where we blasted the 30 X 30 foot holes.<br />I have many stories from the first timers, if anyone is interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742487410373715914.post-73617151830236100802022-05-10T15:19:59.898-04:002022-05-10T15:19:59.898-04:00What then Anoymous?
