Today sherpas, mountaineers and a grateful nation (New Zealand that is) mourned Everest conqueror Edmund Hillary at a state funeral, more than half a century after he first stood on the roof of the world. Well they don't make them like they used to. A fallen hero and the embodiment of what being an adventurer is all about.
More about Edmund Hilary.

Walter Sisulu
So soon and I have already decided to add a Fallen Knight to my list of chivalrous men. In short a great Knight passed today. Walter Sisulu, chivalrous soldier of the African National Congress in South Africa passed away at the age of 91. How noble the effort, see the ANC's profile of Sisulu.
