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.

Rare Find

The 340 Juke Box still exists, it is with Tee in Harrisburg, it of course can be photographed freely in all it's majestic glory. In researching the Eels of Death hockey team for a future post on this blog I stumbled across a pic of the "Box" at the Club. The year is 1982, the Eels have just won the Lower Valley Fall Classic at the Bel-Mont Sports Arena in Kittaning,Pa. the previous week. The 340 Club,of course hosted the victory party the following weekend. Click on the picture to enlarge it and you will see the Juke Box in the upper right.

Yes indeed ... the Juke Box is alive; unfortunately it is on life support. However, I will not pull the plug. I'm talking to a specialist even as we speak and hopefully after treatment the ol' Juke Box will be its old self. I expect the Juke Box to be the feature of a future Curator's Corner (a new feature of the virtual 340 scheduled to debut next Monday).
