Original Toronto Star caption: After eight months in Vietnamese prison camps, missionaries Jean and Norman Johnson came home to Toronto yesterday and embraced their children, Doug, 14, and Pattie, 15. Friends from the Christian and Missionary Alliance met them on their return, arranged through the United Nations. The couple had been in Viet Nam for 3 1/2 years before they were captured in March in the Central Highlands, where they were running a Bible school.

      When law student Steve Cohen embraced Jews for Jesus, his mother said to him Don't write, Don't call, don't visit. That was eight years ago, Cohen says. My children have never met their grandparents and it's a heartache for me. But his commitment is unshaken.
