Happy reincarnation Ed

Sad to read that Ed Hillary died yesterday. He was a special hero in Nepal because he gave equal credit for climbing Everest to Tensing Norgay (in those days Sherpas were generally treated as menial servants) and for the last 50 odd years had been supporting health and education projects in the Sherpa districts that he visited when climbing. Today there will be thousands of Sherpas lighting lamps and praying for his reincarnation.
