Travel to Tibet.,
By Betty Burks "Betty Burks" (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: So Long Until Tomorrow: From Quaker Hill to Kathmandu (Hardcover)
He was probably the best known broadcaster in the world, and his signature sign off was "So long, until tomorrow" being he was a staple in our lives. We could depend on him to take us to places we'd only dreamed of; he was there.
In this book, SO LONG UNTIL TOMORROW, Lowell Thomas relates how many years earlier, he was the first American invited to this exquisitely beautiful and special place in what seemed to be a God-forsaken location. He broadcast the first radio show from Potala and Lhasa as his regular "on the road" newscast. Getting there was an ordeal because of the terrain; getting back down off these highest mountain ranges in the world was even worse. When the animal carrying him fell, Lowell Thomas suffered broken bones which created severe pain and hhe had to be airlifted out to civilization. It was a major event in his life, and if he were alive, he would surely do it all over again.
