West Bend Library Appearance
- On Wednesday, September 5, 2007, @ 7:00 p.m. in the Library Story Room, West Bend Library will host local author Michael S.
Orban, who will speak about his new book - “Souled Out: A Memoir of War and Inner Peace.” The back of his book states, “My
purpose in writing this book is to share my personal experiences and continuing battle with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome
with those who have had, or will have, the same reaction to a traumatic event, as well as their families and friends. Whether

Our society can, and should, learn to better understand and offer expedient emotional and spiritual relief for those souls and
minds so deeply wounded.” (click here for more)
