Really going on out in milwaukee. And it was the fact that the manufacturing jobs were beginning to disappear at a faster and faster rate. So two talented team of producers, cathry hughes and tom kashoto, husband and wife, went out for us. We found these two families who seemed to be representative of what was happening to thousands of working families in milwaukee. They were losing their manufacturing jobs, the chief breadwinner was losing their manufacturing jobsment and they were struggling to find their way in the economy that was then beginning to radically change. And we came back to them three times in the 1990s. Did a fourth broadcast in 2001. And then this is the final broadcast we have done in following these two families for all these years. 21 years.
