SAVE THE DATE: April 17, 2008
Save the Date, April 17, 2008, for the 2008 Book & Author Luncheon featuring guest speaker, Dr. William T. Close, author of the bestselling novel, "Ebola: Through the Eyes of the People."
Dr. Close is widely heralded for his valuable contribution to the world's understanding of the deadly virus Ebola. A long time resident of Big Piney, Wyoming, Dr. Close recently published "Beyond the Storm", an account of his 16 years of practicing medicine in the Congo. Actress Glenn Close, the author's daughter, says of her father's latest book: "My father used his passion and gift for medicine to make a difference during the post independence chaos of an emerging African state and in the years that followed. [This is] a unique story told by a unique man." Dr. Close's other books include "A Doctor's Life" and "Subversion of Trust".
