It is commendable that someone at last had the good sense to appoint Hillary as High Commissioner to India, Nepal and Bhutan for he is a sincere and good friend of the peoples of these countries. His family and he have built schools for the Sherpas of Nepal with their own hands. However, he was NOT the first man to set foot upon the summit of Everest. Sherpa Tenzing Norgay had that honor while Hillary photographed him from a few feet below. Sanjay Modak AT&T
