Five year old Joshua L. Mask is nicknamed a ‘Katrina baby.’ This name is common among people in the region who had children around the period of the storm. He was born in December, four months after we were forced to leave New Orleans. Fast forward to several subsequent moves which eventually landed us in Lafayette, Louisiana. Travels around the nation including North Carolina, New York and California have sparked his wonderful imagination. We recently attended one of Louisiana's wonderful festivals where Josh won a stuffed animal dragon by tossing an impossibly small ring over the neck of a Coca Cola bottle. This victory prompted him to make up the story of Griffin the Dragon and the Jump House. He is in kindergarten at Ascension Episcopal School.
