To a wonderful and great friend for over 38 years. Whom I learned a great deal of my skills from, He was one of the best Mardi Gras Indian costume makers and designers, in the City of New Orleans. Joe was a true innovator in the art of costume Design, and has left a legacy that many follow today. You are truly missed. Abraham Sturgis [ "Big Abe " ]
