Patrick Moore in Montevideo, Minnesota, writes today with the following news...
Dear Minnesota-Uruguay Partners,
Norma Mills, widow of Jack Mills has asked me to let the MUP network know about the recent death of her husband Jack.
Although I did not know Jack, I do know that he was a champion of Montevideo MN's special relationship with Uruguay, that he was a vice president of MUP for several years and that he traveled to Uruguay twice and received many Uruguayan visitors to his home here in Montevideo, Minnesota.
Norma called me to ask me to let our friends in Uruguay know -- she did not know if they were still alive, but she particularly mentioned the names of Oscar Rochetti and Hilda Slovak as people that Jack had a strong connection with back in the 1970s and 80s when he was the Mayor of Montevideo.
Please pass the news along to the network and say a prayer for Norma as she misses Jack terribly.
It is but another reminder of how relationships form the core of our work and that we all must endeavor, as Jack did, to be welcoming and gracious in the amazing global village in which we live.
