Welcome to Tales By Tom. This is the fifth installment of Tom Cagley Sr's Novella entitled, “The Medal, Revisited. A Blessing from Rome”   

The Story So Far: I visited Charlie while he was having open heart surgery. He asks me to contact someone for him without his wife, daughter and son knowing of it. I do as he asks because---he is my brother. Soon I am talking to his student “friend” also---against Laura’s advice

Next segment: Jim sends me pictures of her. And I find out sad news about the medal.

I encourage you to provide feedback on these stories or any of the earlier shorts by email at [email protected] or by voicemail at 1 206 339 5456.
