Judy Katz, Lenny Katz and Jerold B. Katz
Recently graduated from Tulane University, Lenny Katz was about to start his
career with Pace Concerts in Houston. By all accounts, he was electrified by the opportunities life presented him. An actor and athlete, Lenny was handsome and charming. His dark, curly hair framed a mischievous grin – he was a natural storyteller, and people liked being around Lenny.
That long-ago summer, Lenny suffered severe head trauma in a single-car accident.
It took two years in Houston Methodist for his body to heal. But his brain never recovered. He has remained in a minimally conscious state for the last 26 years. With his family close by and 24-hour care in a specially constructed apartment, Lenny gives back to the world of medicine through his own mysterious journey and the generosity and foresight of his father Jerold B. Katz, his mother Judy Katz and his siblings. houstonmethodist.org/foundation
