I had the pleasure of meeting General Habyarimana in the summer of 1985 while visiting his family and country with my brother. He was a good and kind man that cared deeply about his Catholic faith, his large, beautiful family, and his country. Mostly, I fondly remember sitting on the back porch of his home nearly every evening of our visit with him and his kids, eating sticks of grilled meat and talking and laughing about anything and everything as the sun set over the paradise of Rwanda.
