It’s almost as if he never left.
Henrik Sieh, a German exchange student for the 2020-21 school year in Iola, returned for six weeks this summer to visit his host family, Jonathan Adams and Dr. Dawnie Barnhart.
“It feels amazing. It kind of feels like it did before,” he said.
Sieh has even returned to a similar schedule, including working out with his former wrestling coach, Jason Bates, and catching up with friends.
A new aspect of his visit is working for Paul Porter, a local business owner, to help renovate the Shannon Building at 20 W. Jackson Ave., which is the future home of the Derryberry Breadery. Hayley Derryberry, a baker, is Porter’s wife.
