What do these people have in common? Teamsters Boss Jimmy Hoffa, Fidel Castro's rebels inHavana, Max Baer of The Beverly Hillbillies, Chicago mobsters, Palestinian terrorists, Nigeriantribal chiefs, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, Lebanese gangsters, the founder ofDenny's restaurants, NFL great Walter Payton, baseball broadcaster Joe Garagiola, the AltonGiant, Israeli soldiers, a regular on the classic TV Western Gunsmoke, a gold record singer from the 50s, and LarsFrederiksen of the punk band "Rancid."They all rubbed shoulders with my father, Irv Goldfarb. Born in the small refinery town of WoodRiver, Illinois, and with his own real estate business ensconced in St. Louis, Missouri, Irv's risktakingpersonality blew past the boundaries of his provincial upbringing and took us, his family,on some kind of wild ride through the 88 years of his life.
