The international big game hunter and former Minister of Economy of Argentina, passed away today. R.I.P.

Joe was my friend and the host for my only trip to his country. When I brought my then 22-year-old granddaughter, he found another girl of her age to be her companion and our guide during our stay in Buenos Aires.

I first met him at an SCI convention when he discussed plans to launch an SCI chapter in Argentina. He also asked for advice on the chapter's magazine, Safari Sur. Later, I helped him get his memoirs published.

He was a controversial man, but I am convinced that he loved his country and did nothing except what he believed was best for it. I pray that he will rest in peace, and that history will prove he was right.

I would appreciate it if someone who knows his family would please present my condolences to them.
