Arrived in St. Marys at 0600E. Left my bag at the station. What an exhilarating feeling it was to walk up N. St. M. St. the same old place, dirt still in the many holes in the sidewalk, beautiful green grass and maple trees. Mother & Daddy cried when I came in the house. What a feeling to get home again, nothing can describe it. Stayed around the house all day. Daddy went to the CMF so the rest of us went to Jburg. Left everyone at Marranskin and drove up to Ranskis. I kissed Helen Ruth for the first time and she was eager and willing. I've made myself so hard I could hardly appreciate it. I admire and like her more than anyone I know. I wonder how much of a hold J.P. has on her. Brought mother & them up to Ranskis. Came back around 2330E. Thought of H.B. all night, slept very little.
