re: #822 lifeofthemind

I was 4 or 5 when we stayed at the Singapore on Miami Beach. There was a great water show with a Diver that everyone thought was a hero when he saved a little girl that fell in and there were 4 old men playing cards near our family. It turned out that the guy closest to me was Lansky and the Diver was Murph the Surf. We were staying at the Mob hotel and Murph’s real job was robbing the other hotels as a jewel thief. He later beat up Zsa Zsa Gabor in an elevator and robbed the American Museum of Natural History in NYC after seeking the movie Topkapi.

Wow - way more interesting than my story! I don’t recall Murph The Surf beating up Gabor though.
Did ya speak to Lansky at all?
