[net.nlang.india] Sir Edmund Hillary

ssm@ahuta.UUCP (ssm) (04/01/85)

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.
