DATELINE: 940612 LENGTH:
The Civil War battle group, formed originally in Jerusalem in Southampton County, was the Southampton Greys - an appropriate name considering their home area and uniform color.
{REST} Several of the men in the group that re-formed in 1965 had great-grandfathers who had signed up more than a century earlier.
The 20th century group was in the top 10 percent in national skirmishes for two years.
At national meets the Greys made many friends, including the descendants of their ancestral enemies - the 42nd New York Volunteers.
Other answers:
1. Alack, 'twas Gene Tunney who lectured on William Shakespeare at Yale.
2. Paul Newman did not stint when it came to knocking one of his early films. A full-page ad in Variety, the show business bible, apologized for ``The Silver Chalice.''
3. Elvis' first single after his Army discharge was ``Stuck on You'' - not one of his better-known pieces. Still it was Presley, and it was his first civilian effort in a couple of years. So it presold a million copies before anyone could even hum it.
4. Besides writing the song, Carole King plays drums on the Shirelles' '61 hit, ``Will You Love Me Tomorrow?''
5. Clint Eastwood's time in the military was spent as a swimming instructor. Water you know about that?
