Holding Reunion The two men, and ex-prisoners Lt. Col. Edwin L. Heller of Wynnewood, Pa., and Lt. Lyle Cameron. Lincoln, Neb., are holding a reunion in Honolulu with their families, who were flown to Hawaii by special Air Force plane from the U. S. The eyes of Fischer and Parks lighted up as they arrived at the flight line to show their parents the planes they flew in the Kor ean War. A reporter pointed out to Fischer and Parks that they seemed eager to get back into the air. "Boy, you know it," Fischer snapped. "You damn right I am," Parks echoed. Uneventful Day Aside from the inspection of the jets, the fliers and their families spent an uneventful day. Th four fliers spent almost the entire day either in dental chairs or undergoing quizzing by intelligence officers, who hope to be through with their interrogations by Sunday morn ing.
