Farewell to the Croc Hunter
I'm amazed at how large of a world response the recent death of Animal Planet's Steve Erwin generated. Cindy's sister called her as soon as she heard about it. My Mother brought it up during Labor Day dinner; the news articles detailing his accident have been tops on Google News for the last 48 hours.
Evidently, he's being mourned all over the world.
Mass Media does not give us people, it gives us characters. The parts of Mr. Erwin's personality that made it past the editing table and into the character of 'The Croc Hunter,' all seemed cool to me.
He had an infectious enthusiam for nature and danger. He was a good man.
