So I'm spot on that Barney has been basically the #1/#1B guy of the Genovese family for over 30 years?



Zavattoni,

I'm not sure Barney was a top guy, "the" top guy for that long (he may have been,) but he certainly has been at the upper tier of power and one of their leaders for decades already. (I'd have to track his chronology to speak with any certainty.)
