title Nuestra Vida (Our Life), Boyle Heights, 1994description "Nuestra vida (Our life)", Boyle Heights, 1994. 4th Street and Euclid Avenue, Boyle Heights. "The mural is a reflection of the East Los Angeles lifestyle of that area. It was gang infested. A well-known gang member who was feared by everyone was excited about a mural in his neighborhood.

The two figures in the middle are offering flowers to you, saying, 'This is what our culture offers to the community -- the education and history of it'."

In 1925 his family moved to Catalina to join his uncles, who were some of the many Mexican laborers who built Avalon Bay.

He attended Stevenson Junior High and Roosevelt High School, from which he graduated in 1937. His mother worked long hours as a seamstress to provide for her family during the Depression. Pete enlisted in the Army in 1943 as a paratrooper, but due to a bad knee was placed in limited service and left after 12 weeks. He worked as a lumberjack until 1946, when he returned to Los Angeles. He met and married his wife, with whom he had three children, in 1947. He began working in radio in 1949. He and his brother, Eddie, worked for KPMO and KFVD and hosted a show called “Buenos Días.” They later began to produce television shows and movies, such as “Fandango” on CBS and the Academy-Award nominated “The Cadillac.” In the 1960s Pete joined a group called Justicia, which advocated for justice for Chicanos in the film industry.
