To the mountaintop

I hate to burst your bubble and I am not putting down this man's great accomplishment but the writer should check his facts. I only know this because I went to grammar school with him and this stuck in my mind but Ted Mahon summited Everest in 2003 and he was from Rockville Centre, which is, as you know, on Long Island. I dont know if this makes Mr. Mahon the first Long Islander to summit but it certainly doesn't make Mr. Pospischil. Again, kudos to Mr. Pospischil on a great accomplishment but Mitchell Freedman
needs to do his job a little better and get his facts straight because if Ican figure out that this man is not the first Long Islander to summit Everest just from memory, who knows what the exact facts are. Thank you
