It is with deep regret that i learn of the untimely passing of my dear friend and coordinator Fernando Villegas.. he insisted on bidding in these silly Ebay auctions even though i myself and his family Doctor strongly advised against it many times The Family has asked me to write a few words about his life to the members of the CCC whom he loved so well Fernando was a man of great contradictions A famous and very rich man but perhaps one of the cheapest men to ever walk the face of god's good earth ugly as sin and yet his photos appeared on web sites for fine Chilean wine an outstanding chess player he could lose like a small child to a weak chess computer within 14 moves(more normal was 8 moves) through his political savvy he could settle disputes between waring parties and yet he himself could instigate great debates for spite yes the man was an enigma wrapped in a paradox i have contacted the family and bought all of the items they rushed to sell I felt it my responsibility to pay an extremely high price for everything and so when i sent the 20 dollar bill i did not ask for change Rest In Peace Our Friend..
