Re: Goodbye Sir Ed
On the positive side, if there is a heaven up there, Sir Edmund will be more familiar with it than most of us, having practically reached it some 50+ years ago. Also, now he gets to hang out with George Mallory (not to mention Hermann Buhl, Willie Unsoeld, Lionel Terray, and Tenzing Norghay).
