Sir Edmund Hillary dies.....(FUNERAL today)

[Killearn Kitties]

I was very sorry to hear this this morning Carole. He had lived a long and full life, of course, but it is sad to lose such an icon.

He was a humourous and humble man who did great work and did not take himself or the world too seriously. Would that we had more of them.

Rest in peace Sir.

A gentleman from another age and time. The world is a richer place for his having lived.

RIP Sir Edmund Hilary.

Not only did he conquer Everest, he was the first to drive a tractor across the pole and was able to stand at the pole with another 'slacker', Neil Armstrong.

I loved his first word's when he made the peak.

You have to look them up!

You have the people who break records, like goals in a game, points scored in a season, etc....


But ask anyone who made the top of Everest first?

Thanks, EH.

You rocked.
