This authorized biography is the true-life account of John Olguin (1921-2011), Director Emeritus of the Cabrillo Aquarium in San Pedro California. Although born into poverty and struggling with a speech impediment for many years, John refused to take no for an answer when people challenged his dreams. A natural-born leader and teacher, he connected his passion for education and nature and created one of eco-tourism’s most successful endeavors: whale-watching.
John’s adventures should inspire us all to pursue a life of personal and professional generosity, humanity, love and commitment to protect our oceans, the world around us, and our communities.
