PFF Commission Portrait by Mario Moore

September 26, 2019

PFF commissioned acclaimed portrait artist Mario Moore to paint a legendary member of the Princeton Football Family – Henry “Hank” Towns.
Jim Petrucci’s relationship with Hank goes back to 1982 as a freshman football player at Princeton and Hank has been an important presence in his life ever since.

Pictured are Towns, Moore and Petrucci at the Opening of Moore’s Exhibit at the Princeton University’s Lewis Arts Center – “The Work of Several Lifetimes” celebrating African American members of the campus community.
