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.

340 Flashback

In March 1982 the mighty 340 Club Juke offered up its last double digit day when a party held in honor of Sheryl Zangari's birthday netted $14.70. So, we bought the juke box on April 3, 1981 and we enjoyed over a dozen $10 daily payouts almost all of them in the first four months (i.e. pre M-TV's debut) of its existence. Most of those big nights are known by special sobriquets such as Masada, Boycott, Fan Appreciation Day, McMorial Day, Reunion, Wrestling Extravaganza, Easter (Part 1), Independence Day, Birthday parties, Easter (Part Two) and on and on. If you smile or get a rush reading those names then I've done my job. THREE FORTY!
