We barely got a chance to get to know this fine young man.
 
You remember Elias? Our foreign exchange student from Germany?
 
He returned home suddenly because of the Coronavirus Crisis. But now he's an honorary member of the LSRC.
 
Hi Michael,
 
I am trying to do as many sports as possible as long as possible. I am studying for my med-school test. I also cook, help around the house and spend time with my family.
 
The whole state of Bavaria has strong travel restrictions due to COVID-19. Public life has almost stopped completely.  Going to work, seeing a doctor, going to the pharmacy and doing grocery shopping are just about everything you are allowed to do.
 
We have to get adjusted to a life with less freedom. [Don't we all, Elias!]
 
I go out as much as I need to. I did not get put under a [14-day] quarantine (surprisingly). I miss Rotary, my Host family and all the good people with lots of positive energy.
 
Attached to this email you can find some pictures of my new, (like my great grandma called it) Man-ly hairstyle.
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
[with kindest regards]
Elias Stich
