Our oldest son and his wife made a decision to invite a German foreign exchange student to come to Michigan to share their family of eight. He knew a little English and very quickly learned.
He was a delightful young man with lots of energy and a perfect blend for their family. When confronted with a new challenge, he always responded with “Why not?
One of those challenges was a sailing trip across Lake Erie in a storm!
We felt it would be good for him to go to school with our grandson and to be able to participate in the various sports his temporary “brother” was joining.
He did well academically, became a starting safety on the freshmen football team and made many friends. Everyone knew who he was and where he was from and they invited him to become a part of their community.
It was an outstanding experience for him and our family!
