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.

January 30, 1978

My memory and notes indicate a big fucking snowstorm on this night. Again, I have not researched in the papers but if my recollection is correct it was an 18" (or more) storm and Phil & I may have walked to Cassidy's together knowing that, at least in my case, there would be no work the next day. I do not recall walking home with Phil or, if I do, we were not alone and I certainly was by myself.

Interesting to note we are still talking about events that happened just over 30 years ago. Where does time go?

It might have been January 1979, I was living with Dick Lichty in Millersville and I remember walking into town to have a beer or two.
I can't recall me and you travelling in a snowstorm from the 340 Club, of course it may have happened.
The '79 event I have a vivid memory of actually sleeping at Zangari's South after partying in Lancaster.
