For what it may be worth, J. G. Pinkerton created the "Tellabration" concept while he served on the NAPPS board.
I served on the board with J. G. and considered him to be an outstanding advocate for storytelling. When he raised the Tellabration idea, I supported him and the overall concept with one exception. I urged J. G. to call it "Tellebration" to emphasize and mirror the celebration dimension.
J. G. rejected my suggestion and refused to change or even consider my spelling suggestion.
He was a great friend, and our disagreement on spelling had no impact on our mutual respect. It was his baby, and he deserved the right to name it.
To this day, I regret that my effort to call it Tellebration failed, and I still believe it is a better name.
This minor footnote may be of little interest, but I offer for the record.
All best,
Ron Turner
