Truett Family Dressed as "Hillbillies" for Christmas Card
The Truett family dressed as "hillbillies" for their Christmas card. From left to right: JoDee, Tykey, Jerry, DeeDee and Lute. Tykey has propped up one of her legs on the back of a goat and is holding it with a leash tied to its horns. Also pictured is a German shepherd named Domino who is a direct descendant of Kellog's "Rin-Tin-Tin". The nanny goat on the lower left is an Alpine-Nubian mixed breed named "Rook". It was taken shortly after the Truett family moved from Denton to Friendsville, Tennessee, in late October 1974 by the late "Tot" Clarabelle Thompson, who was Tykey's older sister. The location is an old log cabin blacksmith shop used by Tykey Truett's father Ernest Clyde Thompson in Friendsville, Tennessee who moved there in the early 1930s.
