RE: Ventura County Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval Announces Retirement (July 9-July 23)
“Mark Sandoval is one of the finest men I have ever known. In the year of 2002, I needed to go to the La Jolla VA hospital to take a pre-op exam for my second heart valve replacement. Because of a number of disabilities, I had no way to get there. So, he and Marine Patrol Officer Martin Arroyo took me. It was a great trip and his support helped more than I can say. It was a great privilege to know him. He did a great job in Long Beach and I will be forever grateful. Good luck Mark in all matters.”
