This week, I present my connections to people that were the first in their
field to

Here they are:

Amelia Earhart, first woman to make a solo Trans-Atlantic flight
Roald Amundsen, first to visit both the South and North Poles
Clara Washington Burrill, first woman to be editor of the Boston Review

Alexandra David-N˙el, first European woman to visit Tibet
Harold Melville Clark, first person to deliver mail between Hawaiian Islands
Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon
Sir Edmund Hillary, first person to reach the top of Mt. Everest
Bert Hinkler, first person to fly solo from England to Australia

I am:

30 degrees from Matthew Webb
18 degrees from Amelia Earhart
39 degrees from Leifur Eir˙ksson
27 degrees from Edmund Hillary
25 degrees from Neil Armstrong
34 degrees from Roald Amundsen
