Youngest Jahn Scion on the way to becoming a sports manager in the USA

In these days the great, great, great, great, great grandson of the German gymnastics father Friedrich Ludwig JAHN, Ernest John ROHR jr. graduates from the "Kansas University" in Lawrence / USA and starts a two-year master study for Sportsmanagment & Business.
< At 22 years, the youngest scion of the American line of his famous German ancestor already visited the International German Gymnastics Festival in Leipzig with his family in 2002 as a two-year-old, later he was a guest of the gymnastics festival in the Jahnstadt Freyburg and 2019 was given a study trip to Germany by his parents three years ago ...:

Here, the then prospective 18-year-old student walked in the historical footsteps of his predecessor and founder of gymnastics, from his birthplace of Lanz, near Lenzen in Priegnitz, to Berlin's Hasenheide to Jahn's last residence in the Unstrut town of Freyburg, where the unique Jahn Gymnastics Festival is to be held for the 100th time in the Olympic year 2024. Especially through his father Ernest John Rohr sen. (photo, right > )
the memory of "old Grand Pa" was and is (visibly, with the 4 F, ) cultivated and effectively transferred to the junior in education.
So it is quite possible that the 100th anniversary of the traditional "Jahn-Turnfest" in the Jahn City of Freyburg in 2024 could be a new occasion for another in-depth study trip of the budding sports manager "Ernie J. Rohr Jr." ...!
