Re: Edmund Hillary dead
Yeah...he was a big man with a big heart. Larger than life.
Does anyone know if Tenzing Norgay is still alive?

Re: Edmund Hillary dead
He did alot of work to improve the living conditions of the sherpa people. That is his big accomplishment in life, not the mountain climbing thing.
Makes me feel kinda small when people like this come to mind. |
