Cucamonga Pete - Rick Phillips - Bog

Cucamonga Pete is a character study of great friendship, kindness, humor, courage, and heroism. Pete is the embodiment of a person who requires the minimum to be happy. Yet, it's not until a young caddie sets him straight about himself that he finds good fortune and peace of mind.
Pete's stories are hilarious, and the caddies at the shack are all characters bonded together. The caddy shack is a unique setting for comedic action.
Pete's orphanage childhood built him into a self-sufficient man, ready to take on any challenges. He left Marquette University just three credits shy of a degree to join the Army Rangers.
He was the consummate warrior in Vietnam. He saved his best friend in battle and rescued a Vietnamese general. That was his past. Fifteen years later, he still suffers a repressed guilt of his war-driven actions.
Cucamonga Pete is a pro jock caddie. He lives a simple life that is filled with laughter, camaraderie and joy. It's his friends at the caddy shack, his popularity at the park, and his best friend from those Vietnam days that allow him to pursue a happy existence. But his haunting past prevents him from accepting a normal life. And then, it all changed.
