This is another photo of Camille "Joe" Melanson
taken at Sendai Village, Japan, a leper colony. Camille
is standing on the left. A career soldier who loved
and defended his Catholic faith, Camille would meet
with Pope Pius XII in March of 1958 - only six
months before that great Pontiff went to be with the
Lord.
In the other photo of my father taken at the Sendai
leper colony, you will notice how he is holding a
little girl by the arm and that she is excited and obviously
enjoying the attention. Everytime I look at that photo
I am reminded of what the Scripture says, "Perfect love
drives out all fear." That was my father. A loving man
who had no fear and who gave everything of himself. If I
am able to become half the man he was, I will have accomplished
something.
Paul
