Steve Irwin - The Croc Hunter

It was very sad to hear the breaking news on Sunday evening about the death of Steve Irwin, world renown animal lover from Australia.  He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and fans.  His wife, Terri, is originally from our neck of the woods -- Oregon.  I believe that she is from the Eugene area.

Steve had a very unique manner of inspiring love and instilling knowledge of the animal kingdoms all over the world.  His many ventures into Africa were always a special feature for me to watch, as the bushvelt scenes with the teaming animals brought back many-a-memory of my times with my father in Africa.
