No I figured it out. Meyer was in the "rackets." If you were on the ball, you would have noticed another thread recently where I mentioned him. I exchanged a number of posts with DaytonaCane whose late husband was a UM running back in the late '50's, early '60's. Her husband, Doug, did meet Lansky once. Actually, in recent years I discovered that Lansky's stepson shot a guy I used to know as a kid. Then the stepson was killed. Later, the older brother, a guy I did not like, Craig Teriaca, disappeared in a mob hit. The Teriacas lived close to us in Bay Harbor. Did not know at the time that their father was a Mafia guy.
This all happened fairly recently, not when I lived there fifty years ago..
Do you remember the Danny Goldman disappearance? Used to see him at the school bus stop as a little kid.

EDIT: Actually, it was the younger brother, Craig who was killed by Lansky's stepson at the Forge Restaurant on Arthur Godfrey Avenue.
The older brother, Gary, was the kid I did not like. I think he disappeared some time later from Bal Harbour and no one really knows what happened (except those directly involved).
Hard to remember the details like names so many years later. Also get the LaMotta kids mixed up. Knew both when very young. Those two boys died relatively young. They were both very nice kids, even tempered, as I remember. There father was a savage in the ring.
