Awards Banquet - Officer Installation

2023 Awards Banquet

 

Speaker information:  John Marino
 
What does a star football player and professional baseball prospect out of Hollywood High do after a back injury ends his baseball career?  And, what does that have to do with cycling?
 
John Marino was a promising baseball player attending Los Angeles Valley College and San Diego State College after being drafted twice by the Los Angeles Dodgers until that injury effectively ended his baseball future.  
 
Where would he go from there?
 
How about searching for a Guinness book of World Records challenge, prepping for it for 2 years, resulting in a new record for bicycling coast to coast in 1978?  Or, helping to create a similar race christened as The Great American Bicycle Race in 1982, more commonly known now as the RAAM- Race Across America?  And- ride in that 1982 inaugural edition with legends like John Howard, Lon Haldeman, and Michael Shermer.  Oh, and get it televised by ABC to thrilled fans like many of us back then while he's at it? Come hear John's story firsthand at our annual OCW banquet February 25th as our featured speaker.
