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.

The Aftermath

The reunion went smoothly with only a few minor glitches. Attendance was lower than expected, 33 by my count. I could have missed a few however.


The Attendees:
Tee Knorr,Beverly,Phil Zangari,Chris Joyce,Dan Joyce,Ed Cameron,Chris Cameron,Don "Coach" Kuhns,Jimmy "J.Z." Zangari,Chuck Daily,Jack "J.D." Daily,Wayne Rankin,Cindy Lou Rankin,Chris Lake, Steve "Grabes" Graybill,Paula Graybill,Sil and his wife Barb,Randy Brown and his niece Lisa, Sybil Zangari, Vicki Charles,Carol Templeton,Art Morris,Janet Kelly,Linda Dombach,Jimmy Shay,Woody Kleinhaus,Jack Booth,Tony Kenneff,Ralph Baker,Brian Smith and Johnny Johnson



The Randallion,Randy Brown did the DJ honors as he spun the 45's that came directly from the Mighty 340 Juke Box.





Johnny "J.J." Johnson was the last guest to arrive, a scant five minutes before closing, pictured here next to Randy


The 340 Museum was a big hit, with a copy of the 340 lease because of the LOW rent payments a fan favorite. The Power Point Presentation which was prematurely announced as being cancelled but then on second thoughts, a rush job by Ted Knorr with some help from computer guru Dan Joyce made it a reality and it was one of the highlights of the festivities.



Here is Dan assisting Tee


The souvenir program was nicely done and well received by the troops. Almost everyone complemented us on a very entertaining evening. Kudo's to Ted Knorr who did most if not all of the work in getting this event together,aided by a few assistants.

Most of the gang then converged down to the Dirty Ole Tavern to finish off the night. 340 Tee Shirts are still availabe @ $10 apiece for those residents/members/guests that were unable to attend.

Wayne & Cindy Rankin,Chris Lake,Jack & Chuck Daily,Coach,Ralph and John Johnson were there for sure..Don't remember if Jimmy Z or the Graybills made it. The highlight was when JJ asked me who the one fellow was. I told him Jack Daily, he asked if he was still a Reverend and I told him no then he asked if he was still married to Judy,I told him no. I then called him over and asked Jack if he recognized this guy, (meaning JJ). Johnny covered my mouth with his hand and asked Jack himself if he recalled who he was. Jack explained with his physical problems he lost a lot of memory. JJ reminded him of the time Jack lived in a farmhouse, apparently after partying pretty long,JJ attempted to leave but Jack would have none of that. He pulled a pistol out and held it to JJ's head and forced him to drink another shot of whiskey which Johnny promptly did then he was allowed to leave. Jack said he can vaguely remember the incident.
