It's been 3 years since pcs1979.com was created, and we have had over 200,000 visitors and 2 million hits.
What started out as an amateur attempt to prepare for a high school reunion, has turned into a growing animal.
Presently, we average about 230 visitors each day. We have a good 2,000 regular fans around the globe, and
we get emails from everywhere...especially Portvillians who live far from our hometown.
The website has evolved into a communication center for more than just the PCS class of 1979, and hundreds of folks
(from dozens of classes) have been re-linked to one another directly and indirectly. The site has become an important
connection point for many people, and for many former residents and alumni, it is their only link to the current Portville.
Interestingly, 10% of the visitors are from neighboring towns, who usually tune in to the videos.

site, but we have had hundreds of referrals from other sites and towns - Olean, Salamanca, Caledonia, etc...
and many folks living overseas visit us regularly.
Many computer-savvy Portville grads from around the country check in every
day as well.
