Dr. Harry Wilson received a care package full of Mardi Gras beads from friends in Louisiana.
Helping Wilson unpack his treasure trove were Dr. Rob Waters and HPJ Administrative Assistant Dorothy Brown. All three have ties to New Orleans. Wilson was finishing his PhD in Geography at LSU and worked for the Louisiana Department of Roads using his GIS skills to help recovery efforts after Hurricaine Katrina. Waters, arrived at ONU along with his wife Dr. Sarah Waters of the Music Department after their appartment was inundated by Katrina in 2005. Brown and her husband traveled several times to the stricken city to help in cleanup and recovery efforts.
Dr. Wilson likes to keep his Louisiana cultural roots alive, and earlier this spring, he furnished a departmental meeting with a King Cake, which is a traditional Cajun treat with a ceramic baby Jesus baked inside.
Merci beaucoup Dr. Wilson!
