Pete's favorite pastime was enjoying life with his family and friends on his beloved sport fishing boat, the R/V Roamin' Empire, and at the family hunting camp, the "Barge", on White Lake. He also enjoyed music and was the lead singer (crooner) for the Texas A&M Big Band. Pete's hobbies included: building boats, hunting, fishing, camping, snow skiing, and general "comradee" as he put it with family and friends. He participated in many salt-water fishing competitions with his family and friends and won Best All-around Boat in the Abbeville Kiwanis Tarpon Rodeo in 1973 and 1974. Athletic achievements include: All-city fullback at Holy Cross High School; was the NCAA Southwest Conference Champion in the javelin throw at Texas A&M in 1952; a member of the Texas A&M 440-relay team; and ran the low hurdles for the Aggie Track team.
