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.

Where are they now: Tricky Dick

Dick Lichty, present at the birth and frequent guest, 328 Club

Good guy, good friend, lost but now found; its a better life with Dicky in it. I could tell a million stories about this young man. High school buddy, college chum, and then a very important cog in my early days and at 328/340.

RE is married, with two adult kids, and a wife and living quite comfortably in Elizabethtown. Dick is in sales and still could sell each of the nation’s 25 biggest skeptics a 10% share of the Brooklyn Bridge. He still keeps in great shape and has issued a challenge to our DJ, Randy Brown, to meet him on the mats for a renewal of their legendary best out of three match that took place in the 340 living room over 25 years ago.

Despite his keeping silent on his reunion plans, the ever watchful Big Brother, a great friend of the 340 Keg Man, has told the Keg Man that Dicky is 3rd behind only me and Phil in terms of time spent at the virtual 340 Club. Big Brown is 2-5 to win the Belmont; Dicky is not quite that much of a dead mortal lock to attend, the last Vegas odds I saw were 6-5 that he will; the real bet is how he makes his entrance. On horseback? naked? on a Harley w Mayor Gray? I dunno and I hesitate to predict.
