Farewell to a humble hero who used his notariety only for the good.

I think you misread it; I said “the man Hillary is named after”, not that the man is named after Hillary.

Gee, Hillary’s namesake. I wonder if she’s shed a tear over his death.

R.I.P., Sir Hillary.

Interesting that your picture shows Norkey with an oxygen mask, but not Hillary. I read Norkey's book, Tiger of the Snows, when I was a kid. Fascinating book. Later, I learned Norkey's and Hillary's accounts differed in one important aspect: I distinctly remember Norkey writing that he assisted Hillary in ascending the final hundred meters or so... Hillary claimed just the opposite.

Come on! Hillary’s parents named her after him because of his Bee Keeping exploits, then he happened to do some mountain thingy later.

I must assume that somehow they took their own picture.

What a heroic, unassuming man. The world just got a little poorer for his passing.

Salute, Sir Ed.


Worth repeating....

BTW wouldnt it be great if a reporter asks her for a comment on his death since she was named after him? She would either have to correct the lie or lie again. most likely the latter.

Wow. That’s a nicely pressed shirt. I wonder who ironed it.

He was quite the opposite of HRC. A humble, self-effacing and deeply generous man. The world will miss him.

Its a bloody shame, wrong Hillary.

Let us try to be a little less spiteful then the left wing nuts are. Let us instead wish only for her electoral defeat.
