A year later Pete took Pete jr. and I to his ranch to fire a 30.06 for the 1st time, gun was bigger than we were. Both of us were scared and Pete was cursing at us at the top of his lungs to shoot the damn thing. This October will be 30 years since his death and I think about him all the time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201117835326119111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-25711266544546426652011-02-11T08:34:38.627-08:002011-02-11T08:34:38.627-08:00"Uncle Pete" took me shooting for the 1s..."Uncle Pete" took me shooting for the 1st time when I was 12. 1st thing he did was pull out his .22 pistol and shoot the at the birds on the telephone line.

Unfortunately, I can not communicate with you directly. If you contact me on the regular e-mail: ivcomelli@arilion.com I would like to ask you some questions about your family. As you know of your Great-Grandmothers (Pete Pianvilla's mother) was one of<BR/>Pete Brovia's sisters. Pete of course was Joe 'Pino'Brovia's father. So you are related to the great 'Davenport Destroyer".<BR/><BR/>Also your Grandfather's name appears on a list of Italian names on the Blog. On the front page of the Blog at the top left hand corner (search this blog)type in Pianavilla and the list will come up.
