Bonnie Mae Brookshire, whose name I used as an "artist" on this cover, was a real person who lived in eastern Tennessee.  She died in 2013 at age 100; here's her obituary.
Gillie Ann "Annie" Barefoot montages
Page 40
(Top) Background photo is from a quilting bee that was part of a historical reenactment of 19th century life that took place at Wolcott Mill in suburban Detroit.  The original faces were covered up with those of Brenda, Annie, Jennifer, and Brandy.
(Bottom) Background for this "publicity photo" comes from a farm house in Maine owned by two actors who were part of a film called, ironically, Barefoot Country Girl. The women - in the same formation as in the other picture - wore gowns I picked up from an Australian online gown store; the same gown was used for each, but three of them were re-colored (all but the red one Brandy is wearing).

Reba Pearl "Hambone" Barefoot montages

Page 53
(Top left) Interior of log cabin courtesy of Homylicious; "map" depicted in original picture replaced by a montage I created with Hambone's immediate family set in a meadow Poirier put in the school files; license plate inscription made with Orator Standard font and bevel-and-emboss effect and placed on this blank North Carolina license plate.  Hambone's face is a second picture of Alyssa Barefoot as she is going to a restaurant; shirt is a replica New Orleans Saints jersey overlayed with Nasrollahi's camo pattern from the senior class photo; her coveralls is the Washington Dee Cee model found at Vintage Trends; arms are from the Brittany Barefoot senior class photo mentioned in the first post.
(Top right) All shirts are the RedHead Stalker Lite II camouflage shirt from Bass Pro Shops; all pants are the RedHead Stalker II camo pants.  Faces are as follows: Bear (ARCA driver, I do not know his name because the picture has been taken down from the ARCARacing.com site; however, I do have it on my hard drive and am also putting it here), Boo Boo (unknown model on Cool Men's Hair), Cooter (Aaron Strickland, pictured at right), Little Jack (Blake Barefoot, former football and lacrosse player at Episcopal High School in Washington, D.C.)  Lil' Jack/Blake Barefoot's face was exceptionally red and bright and I had to make four adjustments - hue and saturation, brightness and contrast, levels, and curves -  to blend in with everyone else's.  All four of the brothers - third cousins to Buddy Wayne - have facial hair I lifted from a photograph of Duck Dynasty co-star Willie Robertson.  Bear has the full beard, Boo Boo and Cooter have partial beards, and Lil' Jack only has a soul patch.
(Bottom) Satellite image of 851 Oak Forest Drive, Four Oaks, NC, courtesy of Google Maps.  I used Snipping Tool to outline what the camp would look like.
