Tucked away in a home near the top of Lookout Mountain is a place full of history, a place full of the story of Dick Over.

The 96-year-old has received honors for his work as part of the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division during World War II. Over trained to fight and survive on skis in the mountainous terrain of Camp Hale near Leadville.

The 10th Mountain Division was so successful, the Denver Public Library has become a repository of memorabilia for the 10th Mountain Division. 

But, over time, some of that history is getting lost. Out of all things to save, the focus is on saving the words of people who are history.
