Peter Scott
For most people, the ' time of their lives ' is sometime in the past: for Peter Scott it is now. ' am without question.' he says, ' the luckiest, and I believe the happiest man I know.'
As well as being the first Vice-President and Chairman of the World Wildlife Fund and Director of the Severn Wildfowl Trust. Peter Scott is a distinguished yachtsman and glider pilot, a gifted painter, and an inveterate explorer. 'That's why,' he says, 'I have every intention of being the first octogenarian on the moon.'
