Sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Carmen Dragonetti.  She and her husband Dr. Tola had visited the University of Michigan a few times and were friends with my late colleague Prof. Luis Gomez.  Now, sadly all three are gone.

PASSING> Dr Carmen Dragonetti (1937-2018)

by Bhikkhunī Dhammadinnā

Dear Colleagues,

This is a message on behalf of the venerable Bhikṣu Zhihan, president of the Fundación Bodhiyāna (Buenos Aires), to inform those of us who may not have heard the news yet, that Dr. Carmen Dragonetti (b. 1937) passed away on December 1st, 2018, following the passing of her husband Dr. Fernando Tola (b. 1915) the previous year (2017).

Dr Tola and Dragonetti's Fundación Instituto de Estudios Budistas (FIEB), with its extensive collection of Buddhist texts and secondary literature, is now effectively under the management of the Fundación Bodhiyāna. At present, they are still in the process of finding a permanent home for the library collection in central Buenos Aires, intending to make it available to the general public, students and scholars in the near future.

With kind regards,

Bhikkhunī Dhammadinnā
