Stan Hyatt:
You've got two hundred years of history here that they passed from father to son on down ten generations
or however long this area's been settled. They had to learn to do it right, or they just went without
water, or they went without shelter, or they went without heat or whatever. There's been a storehouse of
knowledge built up there, and to me, to lose that would be a tremendous waste.
