I've Always Hated The Danger Part Of

I'm Past Carrying Out Some Of The Wishes That I Would Have Wanted To Do Before, But I Still Dream About What I Would Like To Do If I Was Able To Do So.

I Started To Become More Active And When I Was At Auckland Grammar I Went For The First Time To The Mountains. I Went To Ruapehu And For The First Time I Saw Snow. I Had Never Seen Snow Before And For 10 Days The Group Of Us Had A Marvellous Time.

We Had So Much In Common [with June Hillary] That We Just Carried On With Life As We Had Been Doing. It Wasn't Easy, But It Was - I Realise Now That It Was The Only Thing To Do.

[derek] Shackleton Was A Man Who - It's Probably Arrogant To Say It - But He Was A Little Bit Like Me. He Undertook Incredible Dangers And Carried On Over The Sea And Over The Ice And All The Rest Of It. He Was A Remarkable Man.

My Grandmother I Admired Even More [than Mother]. She Was An Irish Lady And A Very Kind-hearted Person. She Had A Lot Of Talent, She Painted Extremely Well. She Was Quite A Strong Factor In My Life.
