Elliott Augustine had a stack of masks in his attic way before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

“Even when H1N1 was going on, I was thinking, ‘This might come back,’” the Decatur resident said. “I didn’t hoard or buy a ton of them, but I did buy some N95 masks and stuff like that.”

He’s now been able to submit pictures of himself in masks and a face shield to the DeKalb History Center.
