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.

Trivia 46-50

There will be some trivia questions posed at the reunion in June. To help you prep for such an event from time to time questions will be posed here in the Blog so you can revive some old memories and rev up your response time. To that end here are a few questions:

46. What date was shared as a birthday by what two 340 Clubbers?

47. Name the two main men at the Rendezvous Steak Shop. Bonus points for as many staffers as you can name.

48. Name the Father & Son duo that ran Johnny’s Tavern?

49. What owner changed the name of the Royal House to the Golden Eagle? Who was his bartender?

50. During 340 Club days if you were at the Rendezvous and were drinking a beer … were you on East King or West King?

Last week’s Q & A

41. What was the name of the athletic store almost directly across the street from the 340 Club? Gary's Pro Shop

42. What was a member of the 340 accused of doing at the laundromat down the street from the Club at a town meeting at the nearby Church and defended by 340 resident Sue Krimmell? Phil was accused of hanging out at the laundromat and drinking beer. Sue explained that we only had a washer so he would take ONE can of beer with him when he went down to dry his clothes.

43. The "Bat Cave" and "Sleepy Hollow" were locations in the 300 block of West King Street, who resided there? Naturally, the Bat Cave had Batman (Butch) and Robin (Wes Blessing) while Ichabod Crane (Brian Smith) inhabitated Sleepy Hollow.

44. What two North Queen Street establishments did 340 resident "City L." work for? The Rose Bowl and Tom Paine's

45. Who was the "Master of Sidewalk Driving"? The one and only Tricky Dick Lichty. RE confined most of his sidewalk driving to West King Street but one time he took Phil the whole way down to Luckee’s Elbo Room on Manor Streets sidewalk.

It's amazing to me that I was:

A. There

B. Sober

and I remember almost none of this nonsense. I suppose that I'm the definition of "selective memory".

I can answer only one of this week's questions:

Phil and R.E share that July 7 birthday.

I think that #50 must be a trick question. I don't recall beer at the W. King Rendezvous, so there must have been one on E. King.

Sil,
I think a "vous" cheese steak would restore your selective memory problem although it may reek havoc with your digestive system.
