Aero-News Quote of the Day

"It was just kinda something to hope for. (Something) to get my mind off how I was sick and the surgery and everything."

Source: Andrew Madden, 13, who was flown to Boston by Grace Flight of America to attend Thursday's Game 2 of the 2007 World Series. Madden made a bet with fellow Boston Red Sox fan Dr. Kristine Guleserian in the cardiology ward of the Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, TX: If he pulled through heart transplant surgery and the difficult recuperation process, she'd treat him to a Red Sox World Series game. The teen received his new heart September 30... and Thursday night, both doctor and young patient enjoyed watching Game 2 in a suite donated by Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino. Madden even threw out the first pitch.
