My greatgrandfather, Juan Pineda, used to be referred to as "Pie" (pawye) by me, my siblings and just about everyone else that I can recall. It sounds like an indian word but I really have no idea. I wonder if anyone out there can tell me what the meaning or origin of this word is. Thanks Onesimo (Enos) Cordova
