1974-1991 right?

He was mostly in prison all his years as boss; but we have to give him credit.

He was able to out-smart; Galante; the 3 capo's and other things that was going on in the family.

He had alot of captain's during his reign.



Rusty definitely wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. That for sure. But I will say one thing for him. He was a tough motherfucker! Especially when he was a younger man. Guys on the street can talk they way they want, but nobody can take that away from him.

And the guys back in the day who knew him....I mean really knew him, all know it.
