Indefatigable historian gave us our story
Mel Bailey walked the Great Wall of China; he dined in the banquet halls of such luminaries as the Archbishops of Oslo, Norway and Leningrad, Russia. Equally he brought cigarettes every Tuesday to a blind man in an Ancaster nursing home and spent long nights by the side of dying saints and sinners. A beloved husband and father who walked in pastures green and in the valley of the shadow. This is our Mel.
