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.

The Feast Day

I was due to be born on the Ides of March 1951 but my mum – an O’Neill – carried me for an additional 37 hours so as to have me on Saint Parick's Day. At 1:00 a.m., Saturday, March 17th, 1951 at Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I came in to this world as Theodore Patrick Knorr. Saved by 60 minutes of being Theodore Linus Knorr, Junior.

So, Wednesday, March 17th, 1976, was my 25th birthday and I remember nothing of significance except I believe I might have hurled at the Paragon after ol’ Dan’l bought me a few too many shots of the Jamieson. Annie didn’t appear to mind. It was not my fault; it never is. It was my mom’s fault.

This year will be the 37th annual Saint Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl that I have participated in. I will start the forced march in Harrisburg at Garrason’s Tavern at 2:00 p.m.; feel free to join me.
