The following is Michael Katz's contribution that he authored as a comment (to the post where we welcomed him). I am sure as he gets more comfortable with this medium, he will use the 'Create Post' to author new threads.
'Thanks everyone for the welcome. It is going to take a bit of time for me to familiarize myself with the names of your children. Here is a quick catch-up of mine.Shai (full name is Shimon Yonah, named for my late father) is 18 and graduating Yeshiva Toras Chaim this year and then, im yirtzeh haShem, heading for Bais Yisroel in Neve Ya'akov (conveniently located near my mother-in-law and one of my brothers-in-law) so, Israeli cousins, look out for him.Naomi Malka is 16 and in 10th grade at Bays Yakov of Miami. She recently took the leading role in the Bays Yakov production of A Place to Call Home (based on the book, Family for a While) and, I am told since I wasn't allowed to attend, she was amazing.Shifra Rena is 14 and in 8th grade at Bays Yakov. She is, in many ways, just like my late mother, Shayna. She has her features if not her coloring and she likes to bake.When I get more familiar with this blogging business I will post some pictures.It would help if you list names with photographs. '

Thanks for sharing your family with us, Michael. They all sound lovely and I would love to meet them.I get so many regards from you through people that have passed through either your store or Osher's that I feel I have really kept in contact with you. Having said that however, this blog is a much better connection.You don't mention Tova and I am sure I speak for all of us in asking how she is doing?
Wow Michael
time really flies
sounds great
my son moishale is also learning in Eretz Yisroel

Hi Esti. How come I don't get any regards from you when Ottowa people visit my store? Anyway, Tova (or Toby, as she prefers)is doing fine. She wrote a chapter in the book, The Mother in Our Lives published by Targum/Feldheim about Shai. You should all try and get your hands on it. It will make you laugh and cry. Her chapter is called, Your Baby is Waiting for You.
She has also published a few articles in other magazines. One you very likely have seen was in Jewish Action about magazines for Jewish teenage girls and featured Shoshanim.
She keeps busy with teaching at Bays Yakov and reading emails. Sometimes the only to communicate with her is by email even when we live in the same house.
Gut Shabbos all.
