I grew up in a small town in Upstate New York surrounded by a huge family and many close friends during the Sixties and
Seventies, most of whom graduated from Portville Central School. During our high school years from 1975 to 1979, my friends
and I had some fantastic experiences in school, sports, and during our free time.
Our families, teachers, and coaches convinced us that we were living in the greatest school, in the greatest town, in
the greatest state, in the greatest nation, in the greatest time, in the history of mankind.
As a result of this positive atmosphere, our Portville gang pushed it to the max, diving into academics and athletics
with a purpose. Outside of school, we also pursued excellence.
Here are some of those stories, as
told in the context of local history:
