This Porterdale Web Site is being maintained in loving memory of

Prentis L. Ollis  

(1932~2006)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Ollis and her daughter for the privilege of letting me assist them in keeping Prentis’s Web Site about Porterdale ongoing. As we all know Prentis loved Porterdale and put a lot of time and hard work in making the site so wonderful. I would like to suggest that the site be a memorial to Prentis for all he did to preserve the memories of Porterdale. Although I didn’t know Prentis many years he was an inspiration to me. He was also a friend of mine as he was to many. Thanks to Prentis and all he did with the web site we can see, remember and cherish the wonderful memories of Porterdale on line. So please help me to keep the web site ongoing in honor of Prentis. If you would like to post something in memory of Prentis or if you have anything you would like to post send it to the new email address below. If you need to mail something use the email address below and ask for mailing address.
