[CINC] John Olguin Biography out!

[paul jr petrich]

An Ocean of Inspiration: The John Olguin Story. by S. Harzen, B. Brunnick, and M. Schaad .

 Fantastic reading! One person can count a lot!  This man in 1950 , as a life guard, showed movies on the Cabrillo Beach sand to educate kids and parents about the wonders and  immense value of the sea ( starting with the Grunion Story ). From grunion he went to whale watching  the migrating Grey Whales in a row boat. He became a founding father of the Cabrillo Museum- Aquarium and the American Cetacean Society. He had very humble beginnings and only a high school education, but inspired  young people to become giant ocean and island people!  I hope we have it in our CINP Visitor's Center? Paul Petrich   P.S. One of his grandmothers was a Pimungan Native American from Catalina Island
