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.

Saint Patrick's 1978

While I know it was memorable … one didn’t walk the pubs on the feast day with Accu Jack Kelly and not have it memorable …. I do not remember it. It was a Friday and I believe I made this an all-day crawl as opposed to working half day like the present. I know I wrapped it up down in the King Street valley (i.e. Johnny/s, Soldner’s, Kramer’s) or the Manor Street valley (Luckee’s, Bate’s) and I believe Jack, Mike Hauck and I likely visited Phil at Zangari South (if so, it would have been the first time the South had appeared on the traditional walk). I know I didn’t get laid. I know I didn’t come downstairs on the 18th until afternoon.

This year’s crawl begins at 2:00 p.m. at Garrason’s Tavern in Harrisburg, PA … 16 bars, 24 beers are on the schedule … drop me an e-mail … consider participating in this, the 37th annual, Saint Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl … oh yeah, it’s me birthday.
