Mountain musician Buck McCumbers found photos of his old country school at Nicut, Calhoun County, and recently dedicated a new Christmas CD "My Christmas Dream" in their honor and the memories that still linger.
He says, "Our teacher was Mae Hoover and she took the pictures. We tried to identify everyone, but if we made a mistake we are truly sorry."
