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.

Curator's Corner - In Memoriam


Kenny Giltner - 1978



Kenny and Paulie Ressell with Steve Troop behind them, Steve Lesher (left) and Woody Kleinhaus (right) with backs turned. 1979



Kenny "The Gilt" Giltner (RIP) is the only West King Street residence to have departed this life. As Tee mentioned in an earlier post,Kenny had a lot of weight fluctuations in his life as noted in these two pics only a year apart.The Gilt certainly knew where to find the "party" and if he couldn't he would start one.




Here is the late Bobby Hawthorne giving the "devil horns" to fellow 340 member John Wickersham in Leominster,Mass. in 1979



Bobby was a great guy to down a beer with. A heart attack claimed him much too early.
