The Cheery Book Club Trilogy: Book 3

by David S. Katz

Sadly Mr. David S. Katz has passed away December 12th 2013 at 5am EST at the age of 98 (he would have been 99 years old 6 weeks later). Accountant, artist and now, published writer Talk about living life to the fullest; exploring new fields; finding one's bliss - all of thed above apply to David Katz. The octogenarian -world traveller/painter/sculptor/illustrator and, of late, writer - is just getting started. Since his retirement 32 years ago, David has been indulging and pursuing his creative side. His home is a virtual study in multi media - from paintings to sculpture. In the last 32 years, he has made many drawings, paintings, stone sculptures, stained glass, rug hooking, clay modeling and have had some pieces bronze-casted in a foundry. His latest form of expression: writing children's stories. "I was drawing small people, and a woman friend of mine suggested that I use these drawings and write children's stories," says David. "I had never been a writer so I started with children's stories and did my own illustrations. In a short period of time I had written 28 entirely different stories." He not only surprised himself at how much he enjoyed the process; he discovered that others enjoyed the stories. Somebody offered to have them published, and the Cheery Book Club Trilogy was born. A chartered accountant by trade, David knows about estate and philanthropic planning. He created the Mildred and David S. Katz Foundation to honour the memory of his late wife with whom he shared over 60 years of marriage. Now he hopes that sales of his book will help support charities that he supports. 50% of sales will be donated to: - The Mildred & David S. Katz Foundation, - Jewish Public Library and - Magen David-Adom. The Cheery Book Club Trilogy, Books 1 and 2, are also available.
