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.

A Day in the Life: 2008 (Part Three)

I drove to the Knights via South Duke Street (regretfully, I did not think to check out my old neighborhood - 72 Howard Avenue - until right now as I type this) checking out my old stomping rounds ... Crispus Attucks, Elks, South Pole (a vacant lot), Mrs. Curry's yard with puppy, Helen Jefferson's home (directly across from Daisy Hilton's aka #44), Buchanon's grave, the Creamy, Z-South, deadman's curve and - finally - the Knights of Columbus. I greeted the relatively new manager with trepidation afraid that prices quoted in December might have moved northward now that it was time to sign the contract. I was pleasantly surprised when that turned out not to be the case. Oh things changed but they were negotiated and mutually acceptable. So, I want to take this opportunity to officially announce the following:
