COEUR d'ALENE — Doug Eastwood is the grand marshal of Saturday's St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Coeur d'Alene. So, what is his Irish background? His connection to Ireland? His roots to the Emerald Isle? Eastwood smiles. "I don't know," he said on Wednesday as he modeled the outfit he'll wear for the parade that starts at 3 p.m. at Eighth and Sherman. But he does have a connection to the Land of Saints and Scholars: His first name. While cousins have often asked him how he came to be called Doug, Eastwood isn't sure of that, either.
