Table-tennis tornaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittiling , and games also healped pass the time." "But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more the an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him. "I'm greatful for the opportunity," he says. "It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs."
