Salt Lake City, Utah – David McCullough once warned that America's illiteracy in history is a "disease that is eating away at our national memory." The two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of "1776" and "John Adams" came to Utah earlier this year. He joined Doug to talk about the lessons history has to offer - and what it means to us as a nation if we "lose our story." (Rebroadcast)

David McCullough gave the 2009 Commencement Address at the University of Utah. It was broadcast by KUED Channel 7, and is available on their web-site
