In the '90s and early 2000s, one of the most popular TV personalities in the world was Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.

He happily and enthusiastically introduced his viewers to some ofthe world's most exotic, and dangerous, wildlife.

Ultimately it was a fatal encounter with a stingray that prematurely eded his life in 2006. Steve was just 44.

The following year his widow Terri published a book called Steve And Me. And that's when I met her.
