Lafayette | Larry Powell

by Larry Powell
Shortly before cruising time on a Saturday night, Taffy Ogletree, left, Linda Young, Tonya Kay Crenshaw and Dee Ann Russell wait around the square in Lafayette just to watch the guys drive by.
Some 50 photojournalists who participated in the 1991 Western Kentucky University Mountain People’s Workshop gather on the Macon County Courthouse steps on the square in Lafayette, Tenn. They include 35 shooters, eight faculty and a dozen lab workers.
Brenda Thomas, owner of Armour’s Red Boiling Springs Hotel, said that when she purchased the 26-room hotel in the summer of 1991, she was fulfilling a dream to preserve part of the town’s history. Armour’s was built in 1924 and Thomas is restoring it.
