A very sad note arrives from Universidad Francisco MarroquÃn
Dear friends,
Giancarlo Ibárgüen has asked that I send this note to our friends. Unfortunately, it is to share tragic news. Today, four people from UFM died in an airplane accident in Guatemala City.
Many of you will remember Claudia Araneda, who so capably and good-naturedly orchestrated the general meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in Guatemala in 2006, and the APEE meeting just two months ago. Rafael, her husband, died with her. With the Aranedas were Juan Roberto Brenes, a UFM grad who taught social philosophy of Hayek, and Helmut Wintzer who taught international commerce in our School of Economic Sciences. The group was on a small plane chartered to fly to Belize for a diving holiday.
Juan Roberto and Helmut were both bachelors. Claudia and Rafael leave five children, including Mariandree and Stephanie, who were at their mother’s side, pitching in at both the MPS and APEE meetings.
Juan Roberto, Helmut, Claudia and Rafael were fine and honorable people. All shared the characteristics of good will, good cheer and a commitment to excellence and individual liberty.
If you would like to send a message to the families of Helmut and Juan Roberto, or to the children of the Claudia and Rafael, please do so to this address: chhproyectos@ufm.edu
With best regards to all,
Lissa Hanckel, trustee
Universidad Francisco MarroquÃn

From the indescribable next world please be like leaven in the minds and hearts of the people in this world so they can catch the entrepreneurial spark, causing them to be alert to the great blessings of the principles of classical liberalism!
We also wish whatever will ease the grieving of the dearly loved ones left behind.
