Found a new reference to the Jack O'Lantern Lodge

This is the first reference that I've ever found that directly links Allen Dorfman to the lodge:

Eagle River Sports Arena was once part of the Jack 0' Lantern Resort Complex and was patterned after the Lake Placid area. It was built in 1932 and has been used for hockey, figure skating and other events. Originally there were two toboggan slides and a ski jump. It is now listed on the Historic Register and is noted for its unusual roof construction. The Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame is housed here. Jack 0' Lantern Lodge was a glamorous gambling lodge back in the 30s and 40s, owned by Chuck Taylor. He sold it to the late Allen Dorfman in 1950 and it was then used to host family friends of high-ranking leaders of the Teamsters Union.

I've requested more information if it's available. vbg
