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.

Curator's Corner



I picked this up at some point during our journey in 1976, at least that was what I always told myself. I have no clue where/if I purchased it on the trip....Being a tobacco chewer at the time, I found it very interesting. It hung proudly on my bedroom wall at all my residences during the decade this Blog is dedicated to. It has even found its niche at my current address on Seymour Street.

If you don't recall I certainly don't. It does look like the kind of thing sold in those curiosity shops that exist in historcal or touristy cities like Cooperstown, or Ft. Ticonderoga or West Point. My bet would be at the souvenier shop at Mount Washington's Cog Railway.

Which reminds me of the Cog Railway Hat I purchased at Mount Washington and wore faithfully for years. After it finally became a tattered rag, Sil was kind enough to give me his. I wore a railroad hat of some type most of my street hockey career.
