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 51-55

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:

THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS:

51.Who once slept on a couch one saturday evening,that was deposited in the front of the 340 Club, appalling passerby's heading to the nearby church on sunday morning ?


52 Our neighbors, the DiEugenio's across the street from the Club had five children but only one daughter, what was her name ?


53.What was the nickname of 338 resident Robert Koenig ?


54.What was the name of his Rottweiler ?


55.Born John Edwin Walton, this 340 member was called "Jackie" by his folks,"Good Bud" by Tee and "Mick" by most of his friends but what sobriquet did 328-er R.E.Lichty christen him with ?


Last Weeks Q & A's
46. What date was shared as a birthday by what two 340 Clubbers? Phil Zangari, the Captain, was born on July 7, 1950. One year later, Dick Lichty aka RE, was born on July, 1951.

47. Name the two main men at the Rendezvous Steak Shop. Bonus points for as many staffers as you can name. The two main men, in my (Tee’s) opinion, were Larry Terrell and ??? Goberman (I forget his first name); other employees included Fred Blaebaum, Leroy, JJ, and others.

48. Name the Father & Son duo that ran Johnny’s Tavern? John (i.e. Johnny) was the father and nighttime bartender during the 70s; his son Pete continues to run the bar today.

49. What owner changed the name of the Royal House to the Golden Eagle? Who was his bartender? Bill Harris was the owner; R.E. Lichty was the bartender trying to recapture the Cassidy’s magic.

50. During 340 Club days if you were at the Rendezvous and were drinking a beer … were you on East King or West King? As Sil deduced, it was somewhat of a trick question. The Rendezvous Steak Shop had no beer license during the 340 Club era. However, the Rendezvous Coffee Shop/Restaurant at Watt & Shand’s did. It was a mainstay stop on St. Patrick’s Day or during Christmas shopping sprees with Linda Dombach.
