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.

Fab Four or Faulty Memory

Last night may have the marked the first time in a long while that FOUR 340 Club residents converged under one roof. Sue and John Emswiler accompanied by Chris "Clacktu" Joyce descended upon the 7th Ward Republican Club where I work. John's sister Gina and her husband Dennis were also in the group.
The party dined on salads,pizza,wing-dings,a oyster sandwich,corn fritters and a 7th Ward burger. The "past" was of course the topic of discussion. It was revealed by Gina that John was once stabbed in the hand, by his brother Bruce, with a fork when he attempted to pilfer one of Bruce's french fries.
Several pitchers of beer later,"Clack",the Poet Laureate, was urged to commemorate the event by composing his first poem in over twenty years and Chris said he would consider it. Of course four ex-clubbers may have been together in recent times,perhaps for a funeral/wedding but I can't recall such an occasion..Sil,Tee and myself have attended baseball games together but that is only three. Even if it has happened in the not so distance past it was a great evening.

I think you are likely correct. There were two 340 Clubbers together last night in Harrisburg but four is a large number ... even for funerals. Sounds like a fun night. I survived Randy which is always an accomplishment.
