On the Passing of a Legend


On January 11th 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary, first-time summiter of Everest, philosopher and philanthropist, passed away with barely a whisper in the press. A gentle giant, after his 1953 climb thrilled the world and earned him knighthood from Queen Elizabeth, the self-effacing beekeeper from New Zealand dedicated much of his life to serving the needs of the Sherpa people of Nepal. He raised funds to build hospitals, local clinics, schools and water systems, and made over 150 trips to Nepal to oversee his work.
