    The cycle of life is much more magnified in a small town than a large city.

    Should do a follow up piece! Find some of the people that were in this originally, including the photographer. Great story!🇺🇸

    I was growing up in a small town in Iowa at this time. Things have changed a LOT.

    Wonderful story. Seems like a great place to grow up. Everyone deserves to have that kind of support & safety. I hope people return to Cuba, KS, & it starts to grow again.

    Current population there is 145 as of 1/27/2019.

      This is my home town. I was only 3 when this aired. I imagine 145 people is a far reach from the true population of about 75. My parents being 2 of them. None the less, still a great town with 75 great people.

    I grew up in a tiny southern town in the 80's. The paper mill employed just about everyone. It was so safe that we never locked our houses. Everyone knew everyone, and looked out for one another. I rode my bike to elementary school. It was a good way to grow up.

    So weird to see people just casually smoking inside the high school gym. So much has changed in 36 short years. These high school seniors are all grand parents for the most part. All in their mid to late 50s. This segment seems very unfinished.

    • @swoolsey56ify
      @swoolsey56ify 5 лет назад +9

      We are 53/54, and yes several of us are grandparents now. The town has faded and I haven't seen a lot of my classmates in years, but most of us are still within a 200 mile radius of Cuba now, after having been out and about in the world and then returning. Myself, I went into the National Guard and that allowed me to come back at least once a month to visit even though I was going to school in Manhattan, Ks and then teaching in Wichita before I returned to the area in '94... The reason the segment seems unfinished to you is that we are not yet finished nor is Cuba, (there are actually several recent graduates before the school closed that have stayed and are starting families). Jim still comes back from time to time and visits and takes pictures to this day...(Shawn Woolsey, the chore guy....lol)

      Well now, if Sunday Morning comes on at 9, you can still get to church by 11. (If you skip the last 30 mins of the show.) At least in my house, church was more important than the TV.

      Also, some of us are more interested in what rural America is doing rather than getting caught up in all the B.S. that urban events are heaping on us....

      Yeah its called honest hard work...you ought to try it sometime instead of insulting those of us that do...as to the tobacco, someday you snowflakes are going to learn you can't judge yesterday's actions by today's values...

    • @andywaynebrooks
      @andywaynebrooks 5 лет назад +2

      swoolsey56ify I don’t think it’s an insult at all. I kinda like that smell. It’s like old library books, dust, and the smell of Antique stores. I’m sure the 80s also smelled like hairspray. As for all the smoking, I don’t blame them at all for it. Smoking was cool back then. It was everywhere too. I remember when you could buy smokes from vending machines and most restaurants had smoking sections where folks could develop their lung cancer in fashion. Looking back at all the fashion trends everyone looks so hairy and sweaty with all the hair and think clothing. They all look so stuffy.
