I met Susan 20 years ago attending dental conferences. I worked for one of Dr. Seidman’s colleagues. She adopted me, looking out for me. We saw each other periodically over the years at other events. She was always gracious.

We first met Susan and Shelly in 1974 when we moved from NJ for Carl to attend dental school. They took us under their wing and integrated us into North Shore life, introducing us to Lou Malnati, Hackneys and Pequods. All still regular haunts, with the latter becoming a Katz family 4 generation tradition. We became fast friends and spent many a Saturday night together, often a movie followed by Walker Brothers and a shared apple pancake. Susan and Debbie planned their weddings together, and they took place one week apart. We celebrated together all our sons (2 Seidmans, 3 Katzes) mitzvoth, Brit , bar mitzvah and weddings and spent many holidays together over the years. Fifty years of fond memories,
