Home at Last Glenns Look Back On Momentous Hours day for the astronaut, his radiantj wife Anna and their two children, Lyn, 14 and David, 16. As they kicked off their shoes, read fan mail and opened their gifts by a glowing fireplace, the Glenns could look back on an unforgettable 12 hours. Their day started with the flight from Palm Beach, with President Kennedy. The downpour was heavy when the Glenns arrived back in Washington. But nobody asked for a raincheck.

A crowd estimated by police at 250,000 lined Pennsylvania to welcome the.hero.

Fantuzzo, New Kensington Glenn was out of the capsule and in a goldfish bowl. So was his smiling wife.

With his arm around her waist, Glenn sat bareheaded atop the back seat of a slowly moving limousine and gave the crowd what they were waiting for--a proud smile, a continuing wave and a thumbs up sign. He made perhaps the biggest impression on the kids. To them was something right out of science fiction. He had paved them a pathway to the stars. He was their new hero who made moon and Mars their future.

Later before a joint meeting of Congress, the astronaut was given honors accorded only to heads of state and national heroes, and thundering affection few men have received from that august body. Glenn spoke of being on the brink of a new era of more orbital shots, rendezvous in space and men on the moon. Pays Tribute to Wife The pilot of Freidnship 7 shared his moments of glory with those who had kept the home fires burning. He introduced his wife to Congress as "the real rock in our family." He added, "I'm real proud of her."
