A Day In The Life: 328 Club (Tim L)

In response to a request to provide a description of a typical day at the 328 Club, Tim Lutter provided the following:

A man of few words

While responding mostly to Tim, I did have a nickname acquired during my stay at the 328 ... it was "Sh__foot"

I remember eating an entire bag of frozen french fries for dinner, and eating cheese steak sandwiches in the wee mornings. Also, smelling beer in the air after our keg parties.

Hitchhiking to Pittsburgh

That was the extent of it but I will take the opportunity to say that while he may be self-described as a man of few words; he is a gentleman who makes a great roommate, husband, parent, APBA player (he still has APBA in his e-mail address), athlete, scholar and friend who was, by luck of the draw, the original 328 Club (later known as the 340 Club) member. Tim's day consisted of getting up every morning amid the madness and going to work where he was beginning a career in business at a manufacturing plant where he and Tee had spent summers working on the line. In the evening Tim would, as he mentioned, dine at the local sub shop - usually a cheesesteak and not always at the supper hour. and relax after a hard days work. However, when the spirit moved him he could party with the best of them. As a Millersville grad, in those first few years after graduation, at the end of the work week Tim could be found at the off campus watering hole - The Barn Door. The mix of recent grads, students and other friends made a memorable happy hour experience for all. Another regular party in those days was a $10 admission (if memory serves) all the beer you could drink affair held regularly at the Host Town. These parties rivaled any in town and probably were not topped until they heyday of the 340 several years later. Tim left the 328 early in the summer of '75 and moved on with his life to eventually become the first 328/340 survivor to marry and raise a family.

Finally, I need to point out that Tim was the only 328 Club member who was not a Lancaster Catholic product. However, he fit in as was certainly accepted as an honorary Crusader which was never made as clear as when, the late Gene Segro (LCHS '69) - himself a 328/340 Club attendee - asked Tim to be best man in his wedding.

As Tim toasted Gene on that day; I as 340 Keg Man toast ol' Shitfoot today. Thanks for the memories and please share some more.
