She specializes in Hopi quilts, but has also recounted the lives of other fascinating quilt makers in American history.
There’s so much more! Yes, we have a quiz you’ll never get! And some news you’ll never get! And another guest comes by in a sneaky sort of way! I don’t get him either! And Mikie goes to the airport! What a line-up! What a lot of exclamation points!

Mostly, though, we talk about the craft of orthopedic surgery, the latest techniques and the doctor’s life.
