My last address in Brooklyn, NY (almost 30 years ago), was close to two Dons' hangouts: near Ocean Parkway and Quentin Road, where Carlo Gambino had a very modest brick home; and near 86th Street and Bay Parkway, home of Cantalupo Realty, where Joe Columbo was employed as a "salesman." Around 1970-71, when Columbo's Italian-American Civil Rights League was picketing the FBI, NYTimes, etc., and leaning on Al Ruddy, the NYTimes did a series of articles on the League. They interviewed Joseph Cantalupo, Columbo's erstwhile employer. When asked how Columbo could afford a lavish upstate NY mansion on his earnings as a realty salesman, Cantalupo gave an unforgettable reply: "Mr. Columbo is our best salesman. He has the sincerest group of customers. No one ever tries to cheat him out of a commission."
