A couple of days ago Diane was listening  to ‘On Point’  on NPR. They were interviewing the author of a new book called Ticker: The Quest to Create an Artificial Heart . I haven’t heard the  interview yet.. but she talked about my brother Billy and his close colleague Bud Frazer and the work they’re doign on developing a new artificial heart.   

You can catch the episode here http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2018/08/08/ticker-artificial-heart-mimi-swartz

Diane then went to Audible and bought the audio book. She’s already 6 hours in to the 9 hour book. We listend to chapter 12 together.. and its ALL ABOUT BILLY !!!!!.. We haven’t gotten fuirther.. but I know he’s gonna come back in big time in the final chapters. 

I just bought the book on Amazon Kindle.
