Paul Townsend Griffin ’45
Body
He entered Princeton from Lawrenceville, roomed with Frank Schaffer, joined Cloister Inn, and graduated in 1947. He was an Army officer during World War II. He was a director of the advertising agency Benton & Bowles in New York City and for many years headed that agency’s London office. Griff loved traveling and New York theater.
For 20 years he had lunch almost monthly with an old classmate at which he toasted the Class of 1945!
He is survived by his wife, Nadia; a son, Pitt; and a daughter, Ashley. He will be fondly remembered by his classmates and particularly his old roommate.
