It is early August, 1975; our lease with Mr. Martin at 328 is up at the end of the month. Woe is us. Us is Sil, City L and me. One day as we lay around (NOTE: similar scene later depicted in National Lampoon’s Animal House for which we got no royalties) in comes Sil breathless and excited. He opened up the paper to the want ads and there it was.

340 West King Street, Lancaster
I called the landlord, G.H. Kratzert, the very next day and the rest, as they say, was history. City L went his own way but later returned to the most sought after address in Lancaster. Sil & I were joined by Jimmy Shay, a paver with Sil and the three of us continued the noble experience in habitation that would take the name of the new address.
