Joy Hayashida Ludington is an enthusiastic 10-year-old. This week she welcomes us into her inner world by answering a lot of questions. I think that we oldsters could learn a lot from this smart, thoughtful and confident girl. She was recently awarded top honors in the Wyoming Letters About Literature Contest. She won second place in the grades four-six category. Q: Where and when were you born? Joy: I was born on Oct. 19, 2010 (close to Halloween) in Jackson. Q: Who are your parents and where do they work? Joy: My momâs name is Maria Hayashida, and she works at the library, which Iâm super happy about because I love to read. My dadâs name is Maxwell Ludington, and he is the president of the Jackson Hole Land Trust.
