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.
The memoir has been thoughtfully divided into three parts: The Memorial Tribute, Personal Reflections, and Kiwanis. Together, they give readers a full picture of Dr. Batsis's life. The story beautifully combines Greek and American cultures through stories, recipes, and letters, showing a life full of traditions and service.
