That same year, Friedman connected him with Julius Stone, who was a professor of international law and jurisprudence at the University of Sydney.

Stone needed someone with Tamilo's skills and knowledge to help him write a book about international law.

His questions about psychology and society and philosophy were really unfamiliar and often unwelcome in Australian law schools at the time.

For Tamelo, being hospitalized began a chain of events that ended with him meeting Julius Stone.

A stroke of bad luck ultimately had a positive outcome for him.
