Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson explains the importance of individuals getting involved in saving history to the directors of Firefly Film and Video, inside the unrestored ballroom of the Oneida Stake Academy, last weekend. When asked what he thought he'd hear if the building's walls could talk, Simpson emphasized, "They can talk, you just have to listen!"Library of Congress librarian, the late Daniel Boorstin, once said, "Trying to plan for the future with out a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers."
In 2003, the National Ad Council cited studies that lamented the loss of 250,000 historical sites per year in the United States.
