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: 66-70

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:
66)In Summers Point,NJ, there was a bar named "The Anchorage" where we "warmed" up for the Bonnie Parker Band who played just a stones throw from there at the Dunes Till Dawn. How many beers did you get for a dollar ($1) at the Anchorage ?

67)Sil has been called Sil since his high school days but what is his birth name ?

68)Sil campaigned to have a museum constructed in Lancaster to honor what legendary comedy trio ?

69)What was the name of our neighbor at 338 during 340 I,who liked to strum his guitar on the back porch ?

70)What was the nickname of 340 member Scott Myers ?



Last Weeks Q & A's
63) Which 340 Club address had the longest period – 328, 340 I, 340 II, or 338?
In order, 340 I (with 1,187 days), 340 II (774 days), 338 (456 days), 328 (313 days).

64) What seven 340 Club members spent over a year residing on West King Street?
Again, in order, Tee, Sil, Phil are the easy ones. John, Sue, City L (i.e. Tim G) and the toughie - Jimmy Shay.

65) What contemporary/future elected officials visited 340 Club?
Lancaster Mayor Art Morris had breakfast there before a Red Rose Run in 1983, the late District Attorney Jack Kenneff attended at least one party, ditto for future City Councilman (and now a Roman Catholic priest who will do our invocation at the reunion) Pete Hahn, and School Board member Pat Snyder had to have made an appearance at the Club if only to pick up a fellow street hockey player. An asterisk goes to current Mayor Richard Gray whom Tee met once with Biker Bob Koenig at 338 West King Street before it was under 340 Club auspices. There may certainly be more.

I know the answers to #67 and #68, but I won't spoil the fun by listing them.

Funny. That brings up another trivia question: What famous singing group, which never appeared at the 340, had a hit called Questions 67 and 68?

Sil where did you look up the answers to Questions 67 and 68 ? :)

Did that singing group you refer to ever appear at Wrigley Field,Chicago,Illinois ?

I found the answers to #67 and 68 in an encyclopedia. That group may have appeared at Wrigley, but not on a day when i was there.
