Carlos Boubet

Chapter historian Gary Kuhn reports the sad news that Carlos Boubet, a former president of Uruguay-Minnesota Partners, passed away on December 11, 2013.

Willy Lockhart, also a former president of the chapter, said that Carlos died "completely in peace" in his home with family after a long illness.

Many Minnesotans traveling to Uruguay were welcomed into the Boubet home. Carlos was fond of taking visitors to the beautiful "Gaucho Museum," more formally known as the Museos del Gaucho y de la Moneda at the beautiful Palacio Heber Jackson, a must-see museum for anyone traveling to Montevideo.

The kindness and warmth that Carlos and his family showed Minnesotan visitors over many years will always be remembered.
