We Shared A Philosophy Together [with June

Waihi Beach. It's A Lovely Beach, And We're Right On The Shore And I Get A Lot Of Pleasure Out Of Waking Up In The Morning And Hearing The Waves Roll In.

Good Planning Is Important. I've Also Regarded A Sense Of Humor As One Of The Most Important Things On A Big Expedition. When You're In A Difficult Or Dangerous Situation, Or When You're Depressed About The Chances Of Success, Someone Who Can Make You Laugh Eases The Tension.

I Think It All Comes Down To Motivation. If You Really Want To Do Something, You Will Work Hard For It.

June [hillary] Had Been Doing All These Things - The Himalayas And All The Rest Of It - So We Had Done Things Together For A Long Time, And, Particularly As Far As Our Sherpas Were Concerned, We Had A Very Sound, I Think, Philosophy. So That Made It Very Easy For Us To Agree On What Should Be Done.

My Mother Really Was The Strength In Our Family. She Would Sort Of Keep Us In Line And I Admired Her Very Much .
