That was back in 1992 I think. I still did climbs in the Rockies, Andes, Himalayas and various other places. I never came close to being killed twice in the same day like the Eiger climb.
Actor George Kennedy
enlisted in the United States Army during World War II in 1943. He served 16 years, reaching the rank of captain. Kennedy served in the infantry under George S. Patton, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and earned two Bronze Stars. He re-enlisted after the war, and he was discharged in the late 1950s due to a back injury.[2][3][5]
