"One thing I’ve noticed is that whether its an old farm or a building in town or an apple variety, if someone like you or me doesn’t take an active interest in protecting and preserving things of value as they age, no one will... These old [apple] varieties are going to fade away and be lost and forgotten if we don’t do something about it."
