It was Dr. Tribbey’s
original idea for ECU to host a writing festival; he wrote the first grant for
the inaugural event, and secured our first feature author – Mark Cox.
Quoting
from the obituary: “Dr. Tribbey was a brilliant individual with an
exceptionally creative and gifted mind.” He earned his Bachelors of Arts degree
from Philips University in Enid, Oklahoma. He earned a Master of Arts in
Teaching from Oklahoma City University, a Master of Arts from Midwestern
University in Wichita Falls, Texas, and a PhD from Oklahoma State University.
He taught twenty years in the Department of English & Languages at East
Central University. He was an accomplished poet, publishing nine books and
hundreds of individual poems.
