Upon learning of the Collings Foundations new museum, the American Heriticage Musem, Otto contacted the Collings Family and offered to donate and loan prints from his art collection.  He first met the Collings family when he was flying FB-111's and performed in airshows as an aviator and announcer. After several trips to the AHM, he's working with the Foundation for additional displays of his collection.

Otto is making his historical collection available as donations and loans to museums, businesses, non-profits and special events.
This image was for a 75th Anniversary Commoration of the D-Day Landings at the French Embassy in Washington D.C. last year. He was honored that the Embassy displayed twenty pieces of art representing various aspects of the Normandy Liberation. 

There are also prints displayed at the National Defense University in Washington DC, the cybersecurity company he co-founded Mission Secure, and various military headquarters. He is in active discussions with multiple museums, non-profits and other organizations for additional donations and loans. 

The modern National Football League owes its existence to the independent football teams that emerged in the early 1900’s in factory cities of the Midwest, the dirty steel and coal towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the men who operated them. These blue collar laborers worked six days a week and would use their fall Sundays watching and rooting for their local football teams. 

Saint Patrick’s Church, located on Youngstown’s South Side, was founded in 1911 by the Reverend Charles A. Martin.  The Patrician Club was founded to advance the moral, social, physical, and intellectual welfare of its members. In 1914 a football team was formed known as the Patricians or Pat’s and that year, the Pat’s scored 148 points and gave up only 7, went 7 and 1, and won the Championship of the Mahoning Valley. 

For the 1915 season, the Pat’s added more and better players and won eight games and tied one, with no losses. The Pat’s scored 271 points against their opponents 22 including teams from around Ohio, two from Pennsylvania and the Washington D.C. Vigilants.   The Youngstown Patricians laid claim to the title, Champions of American Professional football for 1915!

In 2015, Pernotto commissioned Youngstown artist Ray Simon for a painting celebrating the Champion Patricians and that Fall, a grand relaunch was held in Youngstown featuring prints and clothing based on the painting.
