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 33-40

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:

33. Who was our favorite waitress at the Wheatland Inn?
34. What high school classmate of Sil's and Phil's was a nephew of the Wheatland's owner?
35. Who were the two barmaids at the Wheatland? BONUS: which one did Lenny spit on causing his suspension and temporarily halting his 1976 Presdential campaign.
36. What was the sandwhich of choice at the Wheatland Inn?
37. Who was Al Trimble's "gofer" at the Wheatland? BONUS: what bit of Lenny's was he a crucial player in?
38. Where was the longest distance telephone call from that Lenny Lane ever received while playing the piano at the Wheatland?
39. What was the name of the Mt. Carmel born piano player, not quite the immortal genius of Lenny Lane, who provided a reasonable facsimile at Wildwood in the early eighties? TWO CLUES: he would "tickle your toes" and he is playing Lancaster this October 15-16 with 1pm shows at the Host Resort.
40. What was the name of Al Trimble's next bar after he sold the Wheatland Inn?

Last Week's Answers
29.)Who was our favorite waitress at the Village ? Bobbi

30.) What did Sil put on the ledge of the transom to his bedroom to keep uninvited guests out during 340 parties ? He put nails or tacks there so when they reached up they would stick themselves. Sil e-mailed me this,"I remember putting some nails in there, but my better defense was to lock the door from the inside and then climb out through the transom. That worked. "

31.)What did Bonnie Parker usually announce during her final set when the band played at the Village ? "There will be a 340 tonight". She then usually reminded people to "Get your 6-packs"

32.) Before locking your front door became mandatory in Lancaster, what two items were stolen most frequently from the W.King Street Clubs ? Cable boxes and empty beer kegs (For the $10 deposit)

RE #30 - Sil can you explain this ... I remember the exiting/entering through the transom ... quite a feat of athleticism ... however for the life of me I don't understand the nails or tacks. Why would anyone reach up there ... believe me no one other than you was going thru that transom which was located 6 foot off the ground. Were the nails driven in or tacks just placed up there. I never could understand what this meant. Can you draw me a picture?
