Identifier

Abstract

Oral history interview with Jay C. Sarno Jr. conducted by David G. Schwartz on July 10, 2008 for the Remembering Jay Sarno Oral History Project. Sarno begins by discussing how his parents met in the early 1950s in Miami, Florida and were married within six weeks. Sarno then describes his family moving to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1965 and living in the Dunes Hotel for the first three weeks. Sarno then chronicles his parents’ marriage and their divorce in the 1970s. Sarno then recounts his father’s relationship with Jimmy Hoffa and Allen Dorfman and the visits Hoffa made to Las Vegas to see his father. Sarno talks about the way his father treated him and his brother differently than his sisters. Lastly, Sarno discusses how he and his siblings were surprised their father owed the Internal Revenue Service over one million dollars at the time of his death.
