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.

338 W.King Street

My most vivid memory of the "move" from 340 to 338 was Tee
merely throwing all his belongings from one roof to another making it an easier transition than the rest of us who had to go down the 340 stairs and up the 338 steps. Of course being fairly young yet we were not burdened by bedroom furniture. Tee and I, and maybe Sil, only owned mattreses instead of a real bed complete with box springs and bed posts. This made a nomadic life style less rigorous whenever we moved.
Although the 340 was legendary the 338 Club had one feature that the former sorely lacked. There was a first floor bathroom an asset that was quite useful since our bladders always seemed to be in need of relief of certain potables.
I had my usual 2nd floor suite overlooking the bustling West King traffic/shenanigans with Tee on the 3rd floor.John and Sue in one room and Sil in the other.
My two favorite "events" of the 338 are of course the "Summit Bowl", so called by Woody (with Tee trying to verify that name) and the visit by some of the Red Rose City's finest which resulted in a noise ordinance citation. Woody says he has some pics of the so called Summit Bowl but has yet been unable to electronically post them. Both of these "happenings" will be covered in future posts.
