Stan and Cathy Clardy. They spent the night and performed at Dixie's 6th birthday at Dixieland. He does a great puppet show, with Bobby Lee Opposum! http://www.stanclardy.com/
Afterwards he performed Soldiers In Gray at Dixieland, I was so moved that I couldn't speak. http://www.stanclardy.com/Soldiers_in_Gray.html

Via Cousin John
On May 14, I received an early Memorial Day reminder. I saw
newly-released Confederate prisoner-of-war Washington Duke walking down
N.C. 11 just after he crossed the King Street Bridge.Duke, aka Philip Brown, had been held prisoner in New Bern. When the war closed and Union forces released him, Duke faced a 165-mile walk back to his home place in Durham.
The Duke reenactor arrived in Kinston late May 12, spent a busy day in our city on May 13, and then, after breakfast on May 14, he headed down the road towards Whitehall – today’s Seven Springs.
