I had no idea

becoming a Seagoing Cowboy was going to change my life. Caring for the anmials during the crossing's kept me

busy. I served as a night watchman. My job was to check on all the anmials every hour, I also found some time to have fun on the board, especially on return trips after the anmials had been unloaded. They cowboys and I toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China.

Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. The cowboys and I played a bundle of games like baseball, volleyball, table tennis-tournments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittiling, The games also helped pass the time.

But bening a Seagoing Cowboy

was much more than an adventure for me.

It opened up a world to me. It made me more aware of

the excellent people of other countries and their needs. And that awareness stayed with me, leading my family to host a number of intermational students and echanged visitors for many years.
