Book synopsis

Working from the spare bedroom of his Bloomington, Indiana, apartment in 1963 with a $1,500 investment, Bill Cook began to construct the wire guides, needles, and catheters that would become the foundation of the global multi-billion-dollar Cook Group. This story has been eloquently told in Bob Hammel s The Bill Cook Story: Ready, Fire, Aim. The sequel to this story explores Cook s final years, when the restoration work he championed, epitomized by the spectacular West Baden Hotel, became a driving force in his life and a source of great satisfaction and pleasure. Hammel takes us behind the scenes on the important restorations of Beck s Mill and Old Centrum Church, and the remarkable commitment of Cook toward reviving his home town, Canton, Illinois. At the heart of the book are the events of Bill Cook s final days and his death in April, 2011, but this solemn chronicle soon gives way to fond recollections of Cook s extraordinary life and legacy, and to the continuing saga of the company he founded as it looks toward a bright future."
