Katherine's book, which was inspired by her husband's life and work, gives a vivid picture of Dr. Andrew Batsis, a man who was a proud husband, a kind dentist, a busy Kiwanian, and a man who looked like Santa Claus. His story of kindness and service throughout his life is truly felt in the community and serves as an example for others to follow.
