fun fact, UMass Amherst Delta Chi was the inspiration for Animal House, pretty sure it's true, having attended the institution of higher learning.
So many stories about John and his exploits. Martha's Vineyard, etc. We were at his grave one night, up island, in the corral, smoking a number , no wind, and the board in the fence just clunked...yup, his spirit was there with us. My buddy charlie and I kinda freaked out. His dad's house was next to the cemetary. 20 years ago.

Gonna need a fact check in that one, Willy.

I was listening to CJAD on the 4th and was surprised [time flies ya know] that it marked the 25th anniversary of John Candy's passing. They had a cool segment talking with an old friend of his about what a nice person he was and the SC days.

Yea, Dartmouth

I stand corrected

Animal House was based on Chris Miller's experience at his own fraternity (Alpha Delta Phi) at the Ivy League's Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, now chronicled in his 2006 memoir "The Real Animal House", in which he describes his sophmore year at Dartmouth and his first in Alpha Delta Phi. Additional inspiration came from Harold Ramis's experiences at Washington University in St. Louis where he was a member of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity and Douglas Kenney's fraternity experiences as well."

An urban legend I have not found at your site, but which I've heard
has shown up at a number of colleges in recent years, is one that claims
that the school where the rumor circulates was the model for Faber College
in Animal House. When I would hear the claim that UMass had inspired the
Faber campus (as I understand it, Dartmouth was really the inspiration for
AH), this was always accompanied with the same three pieces of evidence:
the citing of a particular building on the UMass campus which resembled a
building in AH (kind of a lame piece of evidence, because the UMass
building always mentioned was of very traditional college
architecture--Georgian-style red brick with white columns in front--a look
seen on most college campuses); the fact that the UMass fraternities, like
those in the movie, were a row of old wooden houses that appear to have
once been large, fine family homes; and the fact that the girls' school
the Delta boys visit on their road trip is called Dickinson College,
supposedly clear evidence of an association to the locale of UMass, as
Emily Dickinson lived her whole life in Amherst.

Chris Who??? When Doug Kenney or Harold Ramis confirm, I'll believe it

[willywhit]

bump for the anniversary of John's death.
Haven't seen this yet, but soon. No showtime for me

ironic, since Faber was far from Ivy League
Dartmouth is $76K a year now. wow

Alpha Delta Phi at Dartmouth is correct. That fun fact was ground into my head during pledging.
