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.

There once was a girl named Maria

Do you remember 1969? We were so baad we had to do our senior play twice with two separate casts of leads. I was only in the audience but I remember it well. Tonight I just got in from seeing my Godson David's excellent senior year production of "My Favorite Year" a musical farce about a fictional appearance by Errol Flynn (Allen Swann in the play) on the Sid Caesar (King Kaiser)Show of Shows (Komedy Kavalcade) in 1954. It was very well done and the greasepaint and enthusiasm reminded me of West Side Story in 1969.

Upon my return to the house, after walking Max (I'm babysitting a great big Great Dane this weekend) I was delighted to find a message on my phone from Claatu. It would be great to have him yell up the stairs just one more time.

See all of you on November 21.
