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.

Kenny, just remember to turn the juke box off when you leave … good night

From January 1, 1982 through October 10, 1982 the juke box earned $122.10. I know it seems like I’ve buried the juke on several occasions but this time I mean it … I have no more data. In it's 556 days the juke box earned Phil & I $771.28 or $1.39 per day. Still for over a year and a half every day on average the juke box blared for 50 minutes. Another way of looking at it … of those 556 days, if you put all the paid juke box minutes back to back to back to … the juke box played for 19 ½ days. Hmmmmm, putting it that way doesn’t sound like much. Plus it did cost $350 and we did shell out $33.55 for Fan Appreciation Day. $771.28 - $350 - $33.55 = $387.73 less electricity cost of $185 ($10 per month?) leaves $203. If you invested $350 on 4/1/81 you would have had to have a 29% rate of return to match the juke box. That sounds a little better. I am even boring myself with this discussion.

Good Night Phil.
