Thread Name: Kendall's TV shows on MPBN
Subject: RE: Kendall's TV shows on MPBN
Kendall spoke of a storytelling festival on the show where he appeared
as a panelist on the "You Know About Maine" show (see link above)

so, as Gnu suggested (also above) perhaps the story telling enthusiasts would like to join in a campaign to request public t.v. to
bring back Kendall's shows...here is a link which mostly mentions story
teller john mcDonald...but which might be a way to research the story telling festival and any story telling associations which might exist.

Maine Organization Of Storytelling Enthusiasts (M.O.O.S.E.)
now there is a MOOSE lodge i would like to know more about!!

here is a time mag. article about maine storytellers.

here is the golden raven--http://www.watier.org/Ron/goldenraven.htm

i think that as far as the Maine Public Broadcasting is concerned,
requests for kendall's programs might carry more weight, if they
come from people in thier viewing area. (who might be potential
donors and supporters of their stations) so i have tried to find
some local organizations (storytelling) who might "pitch" this to
their members, to join our campaign to bring back kendall's show.

Will someone please follow thru and contact these story groups?
thanks!
