Boise Id Celebrations

After an emotional late-night welcoming reception complete with bands, chorus and greetings from the governor and mayor, freed hostage Jesse (Jon) Turner spent a quiet first day back in his hometown Saturday, relaxing with his family and trying to forget his nearly five years of captivity. "He doesn't want to talk about it or remember it," said his Lebanese wife, Badr, who married the Beirut University professor just six months before he was taken hostage in Lebanon in 1987.
