Beaming over the victuals were Army Corporal Thomas Hulen Truitt, 20, grandson of Kentucky's Barkley, and his dark-eyed bride, Jane Everett Hadley, 21, daughter of Jane Barkley. After a fortnight's honeymoon, the newlyweds will hop to West Germany, where Corporal Truitt's service hitch will end in June.
