The new Backroads edition debuts in May.

Cuba, MO: The  Cuba High School Journalism class debuts a new edition of Backroads magazine in May. The student publication ceased publication in 1997 after 20 editions, but Journalism teacher Sue Ryle, an alum of Backroads and Cuba High School, is reviving the magazine in 2010.

Backroads , which started in 1975, was named at the suggestion of Viva Cuba member Marge Fleming when her sons were in the class.

For the full story read the Cuba Free Press article chronicling the magazine’s rebirth.

We would also like to hear from some of the original Backroads members. What was your story about and what year were you in Backroads class? Where do you live and what are you doing today?
