The factual account of John Olguin's life and how he positively impacted the residents of San Pedro California and ultimately people all around the world, with his ocean related pursuits and wins in the game of life is truly an inspiration. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover. "A Difference In Life" according to Pat Benedetto. An awe inspiring, heart warming story.
