30 Years Later
He was an exchange student from central Mexico to Morris in 1979. Some 30 years later, German Rojas returned to show his family his "American" boyhood home. In addition to touring the sites of Cooperstown, they looked up German's host families, attended a Rotary picnic, and toured Morris Central School. You can read more details of German's life in the September 14 MRC newsletter.
