red arrow camp
from chris farley posted in television by donkeyoti
The Red Arrow Camp For Boys is located on the north shore of Trout Lake in north central Wisconsin. It was founded in 1920 on a former Indian village/logging company/resort site.
The former Saturday Night Live standout and comedy actor Chris Farley was a camper here, and later became counselor. He developed some of his comedic skills here in the yearly Counselor Stunt Night.
His brother, Kevin Farley, recalled of the camp plays:
"He was always the lead and always had the big singing number. He sang Elvis' "Teddy Bear." All the parents would come up for the play and they'd be buzzing about how well he did that."

Across the street from the post office in the city of Cholame, CA, there is a memorial in tribute to the late actor, James Dean. Constructed in 1977 in Japan, the structure is a concrete and steel memorial around a ailanthus tree.
The original Highway 41 and 46 junction where the accident occurred is now a pasture, and the two roadways were realigned to make the intersection safer. The accident site is about 900 yards east of the memorial.

On September 30, 1955, James Dean and his mechanic, Rolf Wütherich, were driving in Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder when they were involved in a head-on collision with a Ford pick-up at the intersections of Highway 41 and 46 outside of Shandon, CA. Wütherich survived the crash with a broken jaw, but Dean was pronounced DOA at the Paso Robles War Memorial Hospital at 5:59 pm. His last words were reportedly: "That guy's gotta stop... He'll see us."
In the 2001-2002 California Senate session, a Californian state senator initiated legislation that proclaimed the junction of Highways 41 and 46 as "James Dean Memorial Junction."
Apparently, the San Andreas fault is near this location as well.
