The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

Bye Bye, Home Sweet Home



Having lived at home and commuted to college, the 328 Club - ignoring 70 days hitchhiking to LA and back - was my first home away from my parents. It began my life's journey and obviously shaped me into the person I became (for better or worse). My roomies, jobs, lady friends, experiences, habits all influenced me and so as we entered the last month on our much ignored lease it was much trepidation and tribute that I drew this picture one day at Musser Park as the kids were doing art work.

It is my crayon drawing of the 328 Club. There is Dan, the Red Fox, in his 3rd floor window. Next to him is the semi-naked Sil. On the second floor I can be seen looking out from my room, the dog Champ in the middle window, and Timmy Lutter on the right. Tim Getzloff is on the ground floor. The cat, Hoppity Hooper, was apparently not in my mind at the time I drew the picture.

At the time of the drawing Dan and Timmy L had already moved on with their lives and were living on their own. City L, Sil and I were waiting on the landlord.
