A look inside the Barefoot reunion

Merry belated Christmas and happy Boxing Day and New Year to all.

For this post, probably the last of 2015, I had intended to convert another of the A&E Duck Dynasty photographs into a Barefoot family edition.  The original picture - shown below - is that of a reunion of Robertson family members organized for an episode called "Stand By Mia" that aired on Mar. 26, 2014.  It was the idea of Mia Robertson, daughter of show co-star Jase, who was born with a cleft lip and palate and wanted to have something special before a major bone-graft surgery to help correct the condition.  In all, 85 people showed up.



The version I had intended would have featured the 13 farm residents, as well as many others, in the Robertson roles.  This would have "commemorated" the reunion I have documented in an earlier post in which I shared two of the document files.

However, I have found the work to be daunting and, although I am continuing to work on it, the Barefoot/Robertson project is far from done.  But I felt I needed to do a replacement I could share with you right away.  So what you're seeing now is a picture of Buddy Wayne, Bobby Ray, and Brenda at the reunion modeling the T-shirts that were made for the event.

The shirts themselves were designed at the Custom Ink website for the color choice and the text and at Photoshop for the addition of the graphic, which was selected from another design.
