Commentary:
Coaches and athletics taught me many things starting with my father, Andy Pienovi, and coaches that I played for, like Ron Walp at Mt Hood CC and Jack Dunn at PSU. I learned so many nuggets that apply to life from Jack Dunn.
Not to mention the coaches I watched while being around them like Joe Etzel and Ad Rutschman and Jack Riley. They all instilled in so many of us to never quit, pay attention to detail, strive to do your best and to win. Too many more to mention. My uncle Joe Cereghino was a professional baseball player, an incredibly hard worker and successful in business as well, was always an inspiration to me.
