TUESDAY, August 20th at 7pm: A TRIO OF MY FATHER'S TALES - Finally!

Cale finally has published the collection she has been working on all summer.  Come and enjoy "Flying Down to Couer D'Alene" once more, and  hear "The Skunk War" in its entirety.

In Flying Down to Couer D'Alene, and The Skunk War the scene is the west coast and life stateside in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.  In these two individual tales, the rigor of Army life meets the ebb and flow of different men from all over the country, different concepts of authority, and what it really takes to be a leader.

Presented live in voice.

MONDAY, June 24th at 7pm: More from A TRIO OF MY FATHER'S TALES

"It was a simple convoy trip over the mountains, if 'simple' can be considered an apt description for any military convoy.  During wartime, convoys are well organized groups of ships or motor vehicles traveling together for mutual support, often with armed defense support from aircraft.  There was a war being fought, but the convoy was stateside, not in Suwon or Wonju.  The Korean War raged miles away across the Pacific Ocean, but the only adversary this convoy was trying to navigate around was civilian taxpayers."

Cale presents from her current work in progress ... two Korean War era stories stories of stateside adventures with an Army Sergeant and his Company Lieutenant, of whom it was said, "Militarily, he was the adversary within, and he was in charge."

Flying Down to Couer d'Alene and The Skunk War presented live in voice by Caledonia Skytower.

WEDNESDAY, June 12th at 7pm: Selections from A TRIO OF MY FATHER'S TALES

Cale shares selections from her newest short story collection: 

"'A great storyteller' was not the first thought people had about my father.  But he was an Irishman, so it was in his blood.  There were stories he used to tell that we, as children, asked him to repeat over and over again at family meals. 

"Here is a tribute to my father with three of those stories: The Little Lord Fauntleroy Suit, Flying Down to Cour D'Alene, and The Skunk War."
